Glaze losses and roughness to the rim from being
loosely fitted in the original frame, surface is
perfect. Style: Classical built landscape One of this series of views tiles engraved by
L T Swetnam around 1885, this of Old Houses in
Rouen. One of the more popular landscape series
still not so easy to collect the full set, that
is in the usual print colours of dark brown and
indian blue, coloured examples of the series are
very rarely found. Research indicates that hand
coloured Mintons tiles were three to four tilmes
the price of their ordinary prints which goes
some way to explain the rarity. Of all Minton
tiles these are the ones we find most often
originally framed as art objects rather than
fitted in to fireplaces, washstands etc or on
walls. Verso very clean, embossed Mintons etc.
