A black and white engraving in landscape format. It shows a view entitled "Crosses at Sandbach", the artist was W. Alexander FSA and the engraver was J. Byrne. It shows one of the Saxon crosses on a worn stone plinth. Behind it are timber framed buildings (which are still there now) in the Market Place.

Book of Engravings
One of my favourite secondhand #books is a collection of engravings from the 18th & 19th centuries of #Cheshire. This is a beauty, "The Crosses at #Sandbach" by W. Alexander, 1810. The actual crosses are magnificent, too.
