This collection comprises thirteen varied framed and unframed prints, showcasing a mix of sporting, landscape, and automotive subjects. A central piece is a large framed photogravure titled Going to the Meet after George Wright, depicting an equestrian gathering outside a tavern; it features a clear plate mark and is housed in a contemporary gilt frame. The lot also includes a set of five monochrome profile prints of vintage motor vehicles on black card mounts, with printed titles including a 1907 Napier 6 cylinder 60 hp, a 1910 Daimler 6 cylinder 22 hp, a 1903 Humberette 5 hp, and two examples of a 1909 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost 6 cylinder 40/50 hp. Rural and sporting themes are further represented by two silhouetted scenes of horse-drawn transport and ploughing, a Highland landscape with a red deer stag, and a small rural etching. Additional works include a genre study of a child by a fireplace, a reflected lake landscape, and a vertical folk-art style print of a woman in traditional dress. The frames, ranging from mahogany-veneer to decorative gilt and ebonised wood, vary in style.
Condition report:
The frames are generally in fair condition with minor surface scuffing. While the prints themselves maintain good visual clarity, some examples exhibit light toning and scattered foxing, primarily visible on the matting and paper margins.
