The company of Le Blond was formed by the brothers Abraham and Robert, in Stepney, London. They were the first company to take a licence from George Baxter's colour printing process in 1849. Colour printing had been practised for many years but was quite basic, using only a limited number of colours. The Baxter patented process meant an initial printing from a steel key plate, which gave the black outline and all the intricate detail and shading, then they would apply up to 20 different blocks made from either wood, copper or zinc - one for each colour they wanted to apply. Each block had to align perfectly. This key plate made all the difference and gave their images sharpness never before achieved.

Art historians have described Sandby as the first artist to fully understand and express the picturesque in art . The aquatint print was invented in France, eliminating the lined effect typical of eighteenth century engravings. Sandby developed the process of making aquatints so that he could recreate in a print, the look of a watercolour with varied tones and delicate patterns. In 1771 he set off from Wynnstay, Ruabon and soon became inspired by Wales' most dramatic scenery, it would help transform attitudes to Wales and even herald the arrival of the Romantic Movement in British art.

Jean-François Janinet, who studied in the studio of Louis-Marin Bonnet, where he learned multiple-plate colour printing.

The engraved area of these pair of prints, with fresh colour are in excellent condition, shows Janinet at his most skillful.
