Very tiny chip lower right, a little roughness
upper right edge, two minute chips top edge,
surface near perfect. Style: Pastoral A great detailed pastoral view of a working
farmyard engraved by William Wise for Mintons,
from the popular Animal of the Farm series
printed in dark brown on white. This one of if
not the rarest tile from the series quite why I
fail to understand for horses are usual popular
themes, the most often found tiles from the
series tend to be the highland cattle and sheep.
Perhaps in the 19th century this scene rather
reminded people too much of the exertions of
working the farm. Verso very clean embossed Mintons etc.
