British Genre Scenes by W. Dendy Sadler

Delightful examples of the work of Walter Dendy Sadler (1854-1923) who produced over one hundred and seventy prints in his lifetime. A number of these show happy people enjoying the pleasures of drink, food and leisure activities. These prints are famous for depicting authentic costumes, as well as furniture, stemware and other decorative arts.
