They were applied to the paper on a single plate, rather than printing each colour in a separate operation. The printmaker dabbed the coloured inks onto the plate before each impression was printed by means of rag balls attached to the end of a stick. Paintings by George Morland (1763-1804) were popular with the British public during his lifetime, and were widely reproduced and published by printmakers both in Britain and in France and Germany.","physicalDescription":"Print depicting an English family, gathered around a table under a tree, taking tea in a garden.  The family group comprises seven figures: on the left is an elderly man and two young boys; in the centre stands a young man, probably the head of the family, and an elderly lady dressed in black; on the right is a young woman holding a baby, and behind her is a man, presumably a servant.  On the table is a tea set; slightly to the left of the table the two young boys play with a dog.  A pond and figures promenading in the park, can be glimpsed in the background to the right.  The printed surface is oval.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Soiron, François David","id":"A6908"},"association":{"text":"engraver","id":"x30813"},"note":""},{"name":{"text":"Morland, George","id":"A6910"},"association":{"text":"artist","id":"AAT25103"},"note":"after"}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[],"techniques":[{"text":"stipple engraving","id":"AAT53239"},{"text":"hand-colouring","id":"AAT133555"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Colour stipple engraving, with additional colour by hand","categories":[{"text":"Prints","id":"THES48903"}],"styles":[{"text":"Georgian","id":"AAT21048"}],"collectionCode":{"text":"PDP","id":"THES48595"},"images":["2006AP8808"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"WS","id":"THES49603"},"free":"","case":"R","shelf":"43","box":"L"}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"print","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"No","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Britain","id":"x32019"},"association":{"text":"printed","id":"x46159"},"note":"possibly"}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"late 18th century","earliest":"1750-01-01","latest":"1800-12-31"},"association":{"text":"printed","id":"x46159"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[{"object":{"text":"E.131-1963","id":"O119561"},"association":"Set"}],"creditLine":"Bequeathed by Mrs M.
