Four Fish Dishes.
Plates from a Victorian Cookbook.
By publisher and lithographer Thomas Kell.
Undated but known to have been produced in the 1880’s.
The plain, yet wonderfully striking images show a plate of boiled smelts, a baked brill with crayfish, a john dory and a dish described as mayonnaise of trout.
Size: 17.5 x 25 cms or 6 3/4 x 10 inches .
Condition: Very Good. The paper is slightly tanned and there is very light creasing to the same corner of all four prints. The plates remain fresh and clean. I have made a couple of repairs to very short closed tears an edge and a corner.
Ideal items for framing and display in both modern and traditional interiors.
