The print is called The Lover's Letter Box, made by George Baxter in 1856. It's a print made using a special process that combines different printing methods. This process was developed by Baxter and is notable for its use of oil colours from wood blocks to add richness to the print. The Victoria and Albert Museum holds this print, which was made after a painting by Jessie McLeod. You can learn more about this kind of printmaking by looking into the work of artist George Baxter.
