Saunders Sculp

1800?  Two lively 5” x 5” duochrome (hand-painted?) illustrations.  Image 3.8” x 3.2”.  “Saunders Sculp”.  From LaArtier, Portslade, West Sussex, England. 

It is hard to know whether these are separated book pages or separate prints. 

“Beaver” is a less told tale, partly because of its subject matter.  The action of the beaver is here quite unmistakable.  Well colored!

The range of browns in this rendition of UP is particularly strong.  The artist includes the dogs, which I believe are a fiction of the clever rooster’s mind.
