Description

Edition of 295, signed and dated in pencil by King Charles, with title in middle, and publisher's and printer's blind stamp lower left; together with the publisher's prospectus. "One of the world's most beautiful fairytale castles, Balmoral was designed by architects working with Prince Albert, consort of Queen Victoria, and has been the favourite home of the Royal Family for four generations. Charles writes: 'What I love about Balmoral, and this sketch was done in August, is the wonderful shadows. They, alone, made my painting finger itch, so I sat out in a field on three consecutive days at exactly the same time of day, being examined by some rather inquisitive Highland cows'" (prospectus). Lithograph in 12 colours after an original watercolour on watermarked Somerset paper. Image size: 31 x 45 cm. Sheet size: 45 x 60 cm. Presented in the publisher's gold leaf frame embellished at the top with the Prince of Wales heraldic feathers, with acrylic glazing. Framed size: 61 x 76.5 cm.
