HARDING, James Duffield.

Monaco Coast of Genoa Sept 1824. J.D.H.
London, 1836. Tinted lithograph with hand finishing, printed area 265 x 375mm.

Harding's 'Sketches at Home and Abroad' was a milestone in the development of colour printing. For the first time more than one lithographic stone was used, allowing different tones to be printed. Harding drew his own sketches onto the stones, which were then printed by Charles Hullmandel, the leading lithographic printer. The print run was limited to 1000 copies.
