Robert Leblond and Abraham Leblond LeBlond and Co. London - Her Majesty at Balmoral Castle From the Regal Set

Her Majesty at Balmoral Castle (From the 'Regal Set')

An original oil print by Robert Leblond and his brother Abraham Leblond "Her Majesty at Balmoral Castle" was printed and published by Le Blond & Company, London for the ‘Regal Set’ around 1850. The 'Regal Set' consisted of ten miniature views which were printed on a single sheet of paper. Created for the lady of the household, the miniatures were trimmed from the page and affixed to needle boxes and other small surfaces in need of adornment. In 1851 Le Blond issued a larger version (approximately twice this size) of this print under the title of, "Her Majesty and His Royal Highness Prince Albert at Balmoral". This landscape scene depicts a full view of the castle with Queen Victoria and her party on horseback in the foreground. This original Baxter oil print (Baxtertype) is a striking example of the miniature art created by the British artists, Robert and Abraham Leblond for Le Blond & Company, London.

Note:	George Baxter: During the 1840’s and 1850’s the famous English artist, publisher and printer, George Baxter (1804-1867), created a complex method of printing images in colours with oils by means of combining wood blocks and metal plates. The complex technique met with great success and thus some of the earliest and most accomplished Victorian era colour prints bear the names of George Baxter and of his immediate followers.
	Abraham Leblond and Robert Leblond: The best known followers of Baxter are the Le Blond Brothers. In 1840 they established the engraving and printing firm of 'Le Blond & Company' in Walbrook, London. In 1849 they had become Baxter’s principal licensees (Baxter had taken out patents on his invention and charged a fee to those who used it). However, by the mid 1850’s the brothers had become Baxter’s chief rivals. After 1856 the business was operated entirely by Abraham Le Blond, as his brother, Robert, moved permanently to America.
	After George Baxter's death in 1867 Abraham Le Blond acquired a large number of Baxter's plates and blocks and reprinted them. Yet shortly thereafter the oil print fell victim to the much cheaper and less laborious color printing process of chromolithography. After unsuccessful attempts in this medium of color lithography, Abraham Le Blond sold his business in 1893.
	It can't be doubted that Abraham Leblond and Robert Leblond were highly skilled in the art of oil printing. This exceptionally coloured LeBlond oil print confirms that, next to Baxter himself, they were the most accomplished practitioners of this demanding form of art. Both LeBlond brothers designed and engraved the plates until 1863, when Robert Died.
	The smallest prints created by both Baxter and LeBlond were designed as sets of up to twelve images which would then be cut into individual prints and mounted onto the tops of needle-boxes. In 1850, Baxter produced his 'Regal Set' which included ten miniature prints, "Osborne-House, Isle of Wight", "Her Majesty at Balmoral Castle", "Brothers Water From Kirkstone Foot, Westmoreland", "Her Majesty Leaving Portsmouth Harbour", "Her Majesty opening Parliament", "The Great Exhibition, The Crystal Palace", "Venice", "Prince Albert in St. James Park", "Queen Victoria at Windsor", and "Her Majesty at Balmoral", the 'Fancy Set', included ten prints, a portraits of Queen Victoria, a portrait of Prince Albert, six individual portraits of women, and two landscapes, the 'Queen and the Heroes of India, 1857', a set of ten oval portraits, the 'Greek Dance' and the 'Harem', 1850', set of two prints, and others. LeBlond's equally well printed needle-box views and portraits were published several years thereafter. This original miniature Needle Box Print entitled, "Her Majesty at Balmoral Castle" hails fro the 'Regal Set'.
