Untitled is a 1900 by The British Colour Printing Company, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print shows a brown-and-white cow standing in a grassy field with cotton plants at its feet. Behind it, a mountain rises in the distance under a pale sky. The text at the top reads "Nance," and at the bottom it says the cow was "provided for H.R.H. Prince Edward of York by the Aylesbury Dairy Company." The cow’s name and the fancy border suggest this was an advertisement. The soft, dreamy colors and simple shapes match the style of the time. Look up The British Colour Printing Company next to see how they made these prints.
A colour lithograph advertisement from 1900 by The British Colour Printing Company shows a brown and white horned cow standing on a winding rural path, with wildflowers in the foreground and idealised snow-capped mountain peaks in the background.
