[London : Richard Phillips, 1804]. A most attractive and unusual antique print - an itinerant seller of gaily-coloured band-boxes, manufactured by himself and his family, the cheaper ones made from paste-board, the more expensive from deal and furnished with locks and keys. Behind him is the well-known children's bookshop of Benjamin Tabart at 157 New Bond Street (on the corner of Grafton Street). Engraved from an original study by William Marshall Craig (fl.1788-1828), water-colour painter to Queen Charlotte. Originally produced for Phillips' part-work "Modern London : Being the History and Present State of the British Metropolis" (London : 1804), but here in a slightly later impression with the outer ruled border, imprint and credit burnished out.
Etching, line and stipple engraving on paper. Original hand colour. Engraved surface (including double-rule outer border) 119 x 82mm (approx. 4-3/4" x 3-1/4"). A couple of tiny spots to outer blank margins, but otherwise in very good and clean state. A guaranteed genuine antique print. Adams 89/025.
