Condizione: Good. Engraving. 12.7 x 19 cm. (image). 16.3 x 22 cm. (sheet). Very Good. Some light surface soiling, and specks of foxing.

Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. First Edition. Picturesque and Romantic image of a copper engraving based on artwork by Charles Wild. The print was extracted from John Britton's "The Architectural Antiquities of Great Britain", its fourth volume. The visible print measures 19.5 by 25 cm. With frame and matting, 33 by 37 cm. Some light foxing on the matting as well as the print. With respect to the print, the foxing such as it is isn't easily discernible on the picture itself. The frame is simple and suits the print well. We think most buyers would opt to retain the frame therefore, and many would also leave the matting, notwithstanding the few fox marks, but certainly one can replicate the matting while retaining the frame.…
