Did you Know?

While this is a high-quality vintage mid-century portfolio reproduction sheet rather than a 200-year-old piece of paper, it captures all the rich details of the 1812 original! The original publisher, Edward Orme, was the official print seller to King George III. The artist, Samuel Howitt, was famous for his incredibly accurate drawings of animals and horses. The small "549/1" printed in the corner is a modern catalogue reference number from the fine art portfolio this print was originally preserved in, making it a wonderful piece of mid-century publishing history.
