Item Description

This rare and decorative reverse painted mezzotint on glass was produced in England during the 19th century, circa 1810.

The print features a religious scene titled ‘The Resurrection Of Christ’ with text below reading:

‘And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow: And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.’ - Matthew 28:3-5

The engraving features the publishers’ details reading ‘Painted by W. B. Walker ???? (4, Fox & Knot Court Cow Lane, London). W. B. Walker was a publisher of popular mezzotints; his name is also mentioned as a painter on a hand-coloured mezzotints. Little is known about Mr Walker.

Through our own research we believe he was William Bond Walker who married Sarah Ann Dibden in 1821 at Saint Matthew, Bethnal Green, London. William Bond Walker was a widow at the time of his marriage to Sarah. We know that Walker was active as a publisher/printer during the first quarter of the 19th century. Several of his engravings are housed in the British Museum.

The engraving is housed in its original wood frame with pressed brass detailing and is complete with its original backing board. This is a rare and hard to find reverse painted print on glass and is perfect for anyone who loves religious art. It is extremely hard to find an any reverse painted print of this size with pressed brass detailing to the frame, incredible…
