19th Century R. L. Sutherland Old Glasgow Color Print

£35.00
A framed color print on paper depicting a historical street scene of Old Glasgow, after sketches by the artist R. L. Sutherland. 29cm W * 41cm H The work illustrates the High Street featuring the Old College building and the Tolbooth Steeple, bustling with numerous figures and horse-drawn carts. The scene is rendered in an atmospheric, representational style characteristic of late Victorian topographical illustrations. The print is housed within a cream-colored mount and protected under glass. The verso retains a comprehensive printed descriptive label titled Old Glasgow. This label provides historical context regarding the demolition of the Old College by the N.B. Railway Company and identifies the steeple as the Cross Steeple, built in 1626. The text explicitly attributes the original sketches to Mr. R. L. Sutherland and dates them to approximately 1882. The piece is set in a traditional giltwood frame with a red-painted outer edge. No signatures are visible on the face of the print.
