Two Prints of Deer by William Samuel Howitt 1809/10
These two charming prints of deer have the name Howitt engraved into the picture. William Samuel Howitt (1756-1822) was an English artist famous for specialising in sporting subjects. These two prints, do not closely resemble others of the same subject by him – notably they do not have an engraved frame and title. We suspect therefore that they may have been taken from a book. There is no doubt that they are genuine early 19th century engravings – the plate mark is clearly visible in both.
The Stag on its own has the following words under it:
