Set of 2 oil prints by Joseph Kronheim using the Baxter process. The prints showcase Victorian couples. In one print, a couple can be seen fishing in a pond accompanied by their dog. In the other, a couple reclines in the hills with their billy goat. The prints are beautifully detailed and colored, which is difficult to capture in a photograph. Therefore, it's worth noting that they appear even better in person.

I believe the Baxter oil method was used to print these. This method produces color prints by applying special oil paints one color at a time using engraved steel plates and cut-away wood blocks. Joseph Kronheim, an expert engraver and artist, is believed to have produced these prints, which are known for their rich colors.

These prints come ready to hang in giltwood frames, complete with hanging wire on the back. The pieces feature beautiful hand-painted mats with gilt along the beveled edges. The prints measure about 3 inches by 5 inches. The outside dimensions of the frame are 11 inches by 13 inches. These prints would make a lovely addition to any feminine room.
