"Altar and Reredos" depicts an early English architectural Altar and Reredos, designed by the late A. W. Pugin, carved in stone by Myers of London, and Fitted-up by Hardman of Birmingham. It is a fine, original example of the art created by the 19th century British artist, Francis Bedford and early English color printing by the famous firm of Day & Son, London. |

Note: | Francis Bedford (London, 1816 - 1894): Francis Bedford is important on two artistic levels; firstly, as an early, accomplished color lithographer and, secondly, as a pioneer of landscape and architectural photography. He was also an architect and thus many of his plates in both media deal with this subject. Francis Bedford's first published lithograph dates from 1840 and his first photograph from 1855. Francis Bedford was a founding member of the Photographic Society (1853) and was elected Vice-president of the London Photographic Society (1861). |
Francis Bedford's finest lithographs will be found in such publications as The Churches of York (1843), Industrial Arts of the Nineteenth Century at the Great Exhibition (1853), The Grammar of Ornament (1856) and The Treasury of Ornamental Art (1858), "Art Treasures of the United Kingdom" (1858). His original photographs are included in such works as The Sunbeam (1856), The Photographic Art Annual (1859), Ruined Abbeys and Castles of Great Britain (1864) and Photographic Pictures made by Mr. Francis Bedford during the Tour in the East, in which he Accompanied The Prince of Wales. The Francis Bedford Topographical Photographs Collection is today housed in the Birmingham Central Library. "Altar and Reredos Designed by The Late A. W. Pugin..." hails from the (1858) "Industrial Arts of the Nineteenth Century at the Great Exhibition". | |
Day & Son 'Royal Lithographers to Queen Victoria': Some of the most ambitious and accomplished printmaking projects of the Victorian era were launched by the lithographic publishers, Day & Son. The firm began in the mid 1820's under the title of 'Day & Hague' and assumed its more familiar name in 1845. Throughout their early years they printed and published lithographs dealing with a wide range of subjects, such as, hunting scenes, genre depictions and topographical views. In the late 1840's, however, Day & Son came to the forefront as a pioneer of the recently discovered medium of the color lithograph; that is, printing lithographs in color by utilizing a series of meticulously registered tint and color stones. Each color and hue required an individual printing. A large and complex color lithograph, like Altar and Reredos Designed by the Late A. W. Pugin, Carved in Stone by Myers of London, and Fitted-Up by Hardman of Birmingham, was created by using at least twenty separate printings. Thus, apart from the obvious beauty of the original work of art, it represents an important example of one of the most demanding of art techniques. Day & Son was so accomplished in this field that the firm was appointed, 'Royal Lithographers to Queen Victoria'. | |
This original lithograph was printed and published in 1853 as part of a series entitled, Industrial Arts of the Nineteenth Century at the Great Exhibition. This was the famous 'Crystal Palace' Exhibition where artistic and industrial accomplishments were showcased as never before. The Day & Son set concentrated on many of these innovations publishing 158 full color lithographs on areas such as sculpture, altars, stained glass and interior design. This original Francis Bedford lithograph is plate number (142) of this series.. The text printed in the lower margins includes the artist's name "F. Bedford Lith.", the name "M. Digby Wyatt, Dirext", and the printer's details, "London, Printed and Published Feby. 1st 1853 by Day & Son, Lithographers to the Queen". It also includes the full title, "Altar and Reredos Designed by The Late A. W. Pugin, Carved in Stone by Myers of London, and Fitted-up by Hardman of Birmingham". | |
