About the Item

This beautiful hand-colored copper-plate engraving entitled "The West Prospect of Mordon Colledge (Old English Spelling) Black Heath" was published in the 'The Universal Magazine of Knowledge and Pleasure' in London in 1751 by J. Hinton, at the Kings Arms St. Paul's Church Yard. This engraving is presented in a beautiful polished burl wood frame with a cream-colored mat. It is glazed with TruVue conservation glass. The frame measures 13.5" x 17.63" x ,5". The print has vertical fold lines, but is in very good condition. Morden College is a long-standing charity which has been providing residential care in Blackheath, south-east London, England for over 300 years. It was founded by philanthropist Sir John Morden in 1695 as a home for "poor Merchants... and such as have lost their Estates by accidents, dangers and perils of the seas or by any other accidents ways or means in their honest endeavours to get their living by means of Merchandizing." Morden College was built (to a design sometimes attributed to Sir Christopher Wren, but largely carried out by Edward Strong, his master mason) on the north-east corner of the Wricklemarsh estate. - Wikipedia
