Edward Francis FINDEN (1791 - 1857)
James Charles ARMYTAGE (1802 – 1897)
“Gibraltar” “Gibraltar from the sea”
Two original steel-engravings after Lieutenant Allen from the work entitled “The shores and islands of the Mediterranean” written by the Reverend George Newenham Wright, published in London by Fisher Son & Co. About 1839 or 1840.
Beautiful exemplars with plein margins, with a mild browning to the borders but in general very good condition.
Brightful, very nice, recent watercoloring.
