Production date: 1833.
Publisher: Charles Tilt c.1815-1853 (fl.)
Description: The "Fruiterer" appears in Spratt and Madeley's Figures of Fun (1833). Here, a woman is depicted as a collection of grapes, melons, lemon, plums, cherries and strawberries.
Size: 17,2x22,7 cms.
Condition: lithography has been trimmed with scissors to the image and stuck to another similar paper. The two birds are stuck apart and do not belong to the original lithography. It is not clear the reason why. Please scan it carefully
Each print is extremely rare, taken from books that have become excessively scare in all likelihood because they were broken up early on to individually sell the plates. Of Figures of Fun, only a handful of copies have been accounted for, nearly all incomplete. The Spratt and Madeley prints are not unusual to find as modern glicé prints. They are quite scarce, however, in their original lithographic form.
Medeley was a British artist and lithographer active 1826-1854. Spratt was a British illustrator and surgeon-accoucheur (male midwife), active as an artist 1830-1833, whose Obstetrical Tables (1830) was noteworthy for his use of multiple super-imposed sheets of paper to create a anatomical pop-up effect not unlike that used by Vesalius in 1538.
Publisher Charles Tilt (1797-1861), active 1826-1840, was an English bookseller who appears to have specialized in publishing satiric and humorous prints.
