This English antique Dr. Franklin Maxim plate series had mottos or proverbs on each plate. The tim is so detailed and gorgeous.
The proverb around the plate says:
"Dr. Franklin Maxim's- He that by the plow would thrive, himsell must either hold or drive. The eye of the master will do more work than both his hands."
No cracks or chips on the plate, but there is staining that I didn't take off. I only generally cleaned the plate so it wouldn't alter the transferwear color or words.
If you have any questions, or would like more pictures, please let me know. Thank you for looking at this rare find!
