Aquatint, with contemporary hand colouring. Several versions of this well known print were issued during the period 1831 to 1834. The artist was Isaac Shaw. The backgrounds change from issue to issue, as does the arrangement of the rolling stock. NB The four illustrations and their printed titles have been cut from the original single sheet ( some versions were issued as two sheets ) and fixed into a custom mount with nine windows. The cut sections appear to have been mounted on a card backing. The print was obviously put into this display format many decades ago and it would be fair to say that a rare print would not, hopefully, be treated in this manner today.
