20th Century Hand Colored Engraving After Slezer Prospect of Inverness

£40.00
A 20th-century framed hand-colored engraving on paper depicting a panoramic view of the town of Inverness. 65cm W * 45cm H The print presents a topographical perspective of the Scottish town situated along the River Ness, showing the old stone bridge and the castle prominently on the hill. The work is likely a modern lithographic reproduction of an original 17th-century engraving by Captain John Slezer, printed on a cream-toned paper stock that shows a prominent vertical center crease. The lower margin bears a printed inscription in cursive script reading: Slezer's 'Prospect of ye Town of Inverness' first published in 1693. No individual plate marks are visible. The piece is housed behind glass in a dark wood frame with a brown mat and is sealed to the reverse with brown paper and a hanging wire.
