Artist Biography

George Baxter (1804-1867) was an English artist and printer based in London. He is credited with the invention of commercially viable colour printing. Baxter's process for producing colour prints combined relief and intaglio printing methods. A 'key' plate was prepared, usually made of steel and using any combination of engraving, stipple, etching and aquatint. Baxter also appears to have used mezzotint and lithography to create his key plate on occasion. The key plate provided the main lines of the image and much of the tone, light and shade.
