Baxter, George
Baxter, George (
b Lewes, Sussex, 31 July 1804;
d Sydenham, Kent [now Greater London], 11 Jan. 1867). English engraver and printer. In 1835 he patented a method of making colour prints—the first commercially viable alternative to the hand-coloured print. The basic design, usually in
aquatint, was printed from a steel plate, and the colours were superimposed from up to twenty wooden blocks. Around the middle of the century ‘Baxter prints’ enjoyed a great vogue, making coloured reproductions of paintings widely available. Baxter licensed other firms to employ the process and did not himself profit greatly from the invention; indeed he became bankrupt in 1865. By this time his process was being superseded by colour
lithography.
