Lot 56: A Pair of Framed Coloured Prints Depicting 19th Century British Military Battle Scenes

A pair of contemporary coloured prints, likely offset lithographs, illustrating British military engagements from the 19th century. The scenes depict infantry regiments clad in traditional red coats amidst the atmospheric haze of battle, featuring billowing smoke and clouded skies. One print shows a charge through an open field, while the other portrays a defensive line holding the Union flag. Both prints are set within cream-coloured mounts and housed in matching gilt-finished frames. The frames are decorated with a continuous rope-twist inner border. Each print features a graphite pencil signature and further inscriptions in the lower right margin, though these characters are not clearly legible as a specific name at the current resolution. A small square of residue is visible on the lower right corner of the mount in the second print.
