Print: Although quite often accredited to Baxter himself this is actually by his son, George Baxter Jr. After working for Vincent Brooks, helping to print his father’s pictures circa 1865 and then arranging the sale of his father’s plates and blocks to Le Blond in 1868 he started out on his own account.

Initially he was printing using his father’s method but in a letter in 1874 stated that he had turned to the cheaper chromolithography. 

This sheet of 12 prints is printed by Chromolithography and includes images of a haymaking scene, horse racing possibly The Derby, Highland ghillies out hunting, a royal wedding, a miliary parade possibly the Trooping the Colour and Crystal Palace showing Brunel’s water towers.
