Adding to Edwin’s fame were the engraved etchings made of his paintings and sold to the public by a print publisher who owned the rights to the image. There were several price ranges for the different states of the print.  For example, in 1845 Thomas Agnew and Sons sold first class proofs for £10.10s, second class proofs for £7.7s, and 'Common Prints' at £4.4s.  The reproductive print witnessed its golden age, in terms of quantity, between 1830 and 1880

THOMAS LANDSEER (1795-1880), Edwin’s eldest brother, was a talented engraver.  Thomas collaborated with Edwin from childhood, as the younger brother preferred drawing and painting. He would go on to dedicate much of his career to engraving his brother's most famous paintings. In total Thomas copied over 125 of Edwin's works.
