  • The Valley of Inspruck: An 18th-Century Engraved Perspective, 1792
    Located in Langweer, NL
    Title: "The Valley of Inspruck: An 18th-Century Engraved Perspective" This elegant original antique engraving, titled "The Valley of Inspruck," showcases a serene view of the Innsbruck Valley. The artwork is delicately rendered, capturing the grandeur of the mountains and the pastoral tranquility of the valley. The print depicts a detailed landscape scene, replete with towering craggy peaks that loom over a peaceful settlement nestled in the valley. A striking feature is the contrast between the ruggedness of the natural environment and the cultivated lands and architecture, indicating a harmonious coexistence of humanity with nature. It was published as directed on January 1, 1792, by T & G Egerton of Whitehall for the author. Albanis Beaumont is credited with the original design ('Del.' for delineavit, indicating he drew the initial illustration), and Cornelis Apostool is noted for the engraving work ('Sculp.' for sculpsit, indicating he engraved the image). The publication of this print during the late 18th century aligns with a time when there was a heightened interest in natural beauty and the picturesque, reflected in the art and literature of the Romantic period. This print would have appealed to those with an appreciation for both the aesthetic and the sublime qualities of the European landscape. The publication by T & G Egerton, a reputable firm known for their work in the arts, and the involvement of a skilled artist and engraver like Beaumont and Apostool, respectively, underline the quality and desirability of the print. It is a piece that would attract collectors of fine engravings and admirers of European landscapes, offering a window into the aesthetic values and artistic endeavors of the late 18th century. As a historical piece, this print offers a view into the past, inviting contemplation of the rich cultural and natural heritage of the Innsbruck area. It is a valuable collectible for enthusiasts of antique maps and prints...

  • Valentine Munden’s Prize Money Silver Salver, London, 1792
    Located in Lymington, Hampshire
    This small oval George III silver salver is raised on four scroll feet with a plain field and curvetto within a triple reed border. The reverse is engraved ‘June 18th 1803 Valentine Munden’s Prize Money when on board the Exeter East Indiaman for the Capture of the French Frigate La Medée.’ Maker’s mark of John Crouch & Thomas Hannam, London 1792. The naval action took place on the 4th of August 1800 off the coast of Brazil. On that morning, the Royal Navy escort, Belliqueux sighted a squadron of French frigates and, giving chase, captured the largest ship La Concorde whilst the East Indiamen, Exeter and Bombay Castle pursued and took the surrender of La Medée. The Coutts and Neptune were unsuccessful in capturing a third frigate La Franchaise, but the action stands out as the only occasion during the Napoleonic Wars when a merchant vessel captured a French ship of war...
