"Sir Edwin Henry Landseer RA (7 March 1802 – 1 October 1873) was an English painter and sculptor, well known for his paintings of animals – particularly horses, dogs, and stags. However, his best-known works are the lion sculptures at the base of Nelson's Column in Trafalgar Square." (Source: Wikipedia) "Charles George Lewis (13 June 1808 – 16 June 1880) was a British printmaker. The second son of Frederick Christian Lewis, and brother of John Frederick Lewis, he was born in Enfield, Middlesex. He was instructed in drawing and engraving by his father. Many of his best-known plates were after the works of Sir Edwin Landseer. Lewis retired in about 1877, and died suddenly from apoplexy at his residence at Felpham, near Bognor, on 16 June 1880. He was buried in Felpham churchyard." (Source: Wikipedia) CONDITION Is Great DIMENSIONS 18.25" x 1.5" x 16.75" / Sans Frame - 11" x 9.5"
