Architecture and Astronomy

(Beautiful Women Studying, Reading Blueprints, Studying the Stars, Fine Flowing Clothes, Measuring Devices)

Issued 1803, London, by J. Wilkes

Engraved by J. Chapman- Drawn by R. Corbould

Beautiful and rare original antique stipple engraved print with early/ original hand color.

A gem of an image which features a bare-breasted Goddess examining architectural plans while 2 other goddesses sit and stand beside her.

A picture is worth a thousand words. The photos are a major part of the item description. Please examine them closely, as what you see is what we will send you. [note: we grade conservatively and always seek to disclose any noteworthy flaws.].

Print remains overall clean & sound, some small minor signs of age including small spots, light surface soiling along the edges, slight dustiness, light signs of age typical to all old sheets of printed paper, but overall still very pleasing to the eye. The photographs or scan provided should capture the appearance better than words, but this image really stands out amongst it\'s peers.

Old prints often display small minor repairs on the back, could have uneven blank margins, might have extraneous fold-lines or other small minor age flaws which do not detract from the visual appeal or value. Condition is carefully considered in arriving at our price.

Great oldprint entirely worthy of hanging for display.

A visual depiction captured in a manner entirely unique to this era.

Sheet measures c. 11\" H x 7 3/4\" W.

Printed area measures c.8 7/8\" H x 6 7/8\" W
