A rare glass print in a period style frame from a series of the four seasons. This print depicts the Winter: A scene showing a couple arm in arm watching figures skating, and falling, on an frozen pond. The woman is wearing a fur collared coat and tied bonnet, and is holding a large fur muff, the man is dressed in period finery, including a high collared coat and top hat. Behind the couple is a wooden structure and bench with ice skates. Nothing is known of C & T Stampa as a publisher. The British Museum note that they are perhaps members of the Stampa family of Printsellers and publisher of cheap decorative mezzotints of Leather Lane c.1799 – 1817. Note that Gally who published similar cheap prints was also in Leather Lane in 1799. Condition: Overall browning of image. |
