“Valetta from the Marsa Musceit”

Two original steel-engravings after T.C. Dibden and Samuel Prout 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.
