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.
