George Baxter (1804-1867), after S.B. Hallé (1824-1899)
'The First Lesson'
1855
Baxter print
Museum no. E.2946-1932
Bequeathed by Francis William Baxter

This print communicates the sensory joy of contact between a mother and daughter. The jewel-like solidity of Baxter's printing colours contribute to the physicality of the image.
