Slender chip bottom edge right more on the edge
than the face, one minute chip, a few minor losses
to the rim, surface very near perfect and one of
the clearest image of this series I have seen. Style: Built landscape One of this series of views tiles engraved by
L T Swetnam around 1885, this of Rodez
Cathedral. One of the more popular landscape
series still not so easy to collect the full
set. Of all Minton tiles these are the ones we
find most often originally framed as art objects
rather than fitted in to fireplaces, washstands
etc or on walls. Printed in dark brown which produces a
sharper and more lifelike image than other
colours. When one looks in to nature for example
at leaves on trees and bushes the outline of
them appears to be brown and so just as green is
the most natural and appealing colour for
surfaces brown is for outlines. Verso very clean, embossed Mintons etc.
