F - Frost Breaking

 I bought this antique print, Frost Breaking, 1850s-1880s, in 1969 or 1970 in Portobello Market, London, when I was 13 years old.  It's a photo-engraved electrotype (electric engraving).  First, the original artwork was photographed, then a metal plate was etched using electric current, and the plate used to print the image.
