Day & Son began
as Day & Haghe, the most prominent early Victorian lithographic
printing firm. William Day (1797-1845) and Louis Haghe (1806-1895)
opened their business in London in 1829, and the quality of their work
was rewarded by their appointment as Lithographers to King William IV
and then to his successor Queen Victoria. Haghe transferred
the images to stone, and Day printed them.
Paul and Dominic Colnaghi had a venerable London art gallery,
established in the 18th century and still in business today as P.
& D. Colnaghi and Co. Around 1783, Paul Colnaghi went
to work for the print dealer Anthony Torre, who had businesses in Paris
and London, and by 1788 Colnaghi was running it himself
At the outbreak of the Crimean War, Simpson was engaged upon views of
the Baltic battles for Colnaghi and when that firm decided to publish a
large illustrated work on the Crimean campaign from sketches made on
the spot Simpson was selected for the work on Day's recommendation.
He traveled with British troops from November 1854 to
September 1855, and remained with the British army till the fall of
Sebastopol. Simpson was thus a pioneer war-artist, and received several
commissions to paint incidents in the war for the Queen. Over 600 of
Simpson’s manuscripts, scrapbooks, drawings, sketches and
watercolors are preserved in the collection of the Glasgow Libraries.
Simpson’s prints were issued either tinted or in full colour,
they are printed on a heavy glazed semi card paper so will be posted
flat as 'banana ' impressions upon card normally either crease or tear
it.This is reflected in the price cheaper upon collection or in
quantity due to stupid postal rules re size
