Print: Baxter CL 145. Published by Baxter shortly before he announced his retirement in 1860 hence why this is one of rarer needle box sheets especially when it is uncut as in this example.
 
They were meant to be cut into individual prints and used to adorn the lids of small boxes containing sewing needles but more often, this set, can be found in parlour scrapbooks of the day.
 
The titles of the small prints are from left to right top row: (1) Figures (Cupid and his victim); (2) Landscape (drinking fountain); (3) Lady with a bird; (4) Landscape; (5) Lady with a guitar.  On bottom row: (6) Landscape; (7) Lady with a rose; (8) Mountain scene; (9) Two ladies; (10) Castle scene. 
 
Engraved below the print is "Figures & Landscapes (10 designs). Baxter, Inventor & Patentee”.
