Prince Albert Landing at Dover – Royal Maritime Engraving, c. 1840 Original antique 19th-century steel engraving depicting the dramatic arrival of Prince Albert at Dover, England, after a painting by the British marine artist William Adolphus Knell. Title: Dover – The Landing of Prince Albert Artist: William Adolphus Knell (1802–1875), after Engraver: William Miller (1796–1882) Date: Circa 1840–1850 Place of Origin: United Kingdom Technique: Steel engraving on paper Subject: Prince Albert Dover, Kent, England British Royal Family Maritime and naval history Description: A dramatic large-format Victorian maritime engraving depicting the arrival of Prince Albert at Dover on the English coast. Prince Albert arrived in England in February 1840 shortly before his marriage to Queen Victoria. The scene captures his arrival as a major public and royal event, transforming the historical episode into an impressive Romantic maritime composition. At the center, a steam-powered vessel battles through a turbulent sea beneath an immense and dramatically illuminated sky. Sailing vessels appear around it, while Dover's famous white cliffs and castle can be seen in the distance to the left. On the right, a large crowd has gathered along the waterfront to witness the royal arrival, with figures waving and watching the approaching vessel. The contrast between the powerful sea, dark clouds and energetic crowd gives the composition a strong sense of movement and drama characteristic of British Romantic marine painting. The engraving is based on a painting by William Adolphus Knell, whose name appears beneath the image at lower left as “W. A. Knell Pinxt.” Knell was a noted British marine painter particularly admired for his atmospheric depictions of ships, storms and coastal scenes. The plate was engraved by William Miller, identified at lower right as “W. Miller Sculpt.” Miller was an important Scottish engraver particularly associated with landscape and marine subjects and is also known for his work after J. M. W. Turner. Printed beneath the main title is the inscription: “From the Picture in the Royal Collection.” The combination of British royal history, early steam navigation and dramatic maritime imagery makes this an especially decorative historical print. Condition: Good antique condition consistent with its age. General light toning with occasional minor spotting and age-related marks, primarily within the margins. Some light discoloration and wear toward the sheet edges. The engraved image remains strong, detailed and well defined. Please study the photographs carefully as they form an important part of the condition description.

Antique Great Yarmouth Fishing Boats Maritime Etching by E.W. Cooke, 1828 Original antique maritime etching by the important English marine artist Edward William Cooke (1811–1880), depicting traditional fishing cobles drawn up on the beach at Great Yarmouth, Norfolk. Title: Yarmouth Cobles, on the Beach Artist: Edward William Cooke (1811–1880) Date: 1828 Place of Origin: England Technique: Etching on paper Subject: Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, England Fishing boats / cobles British maritime and coastal life Description: A finely detailed original maritime etching by Edward William Cooke, showing two traditional cobles resting on the beach at Great Yarmouth on the east coast of England. The two fishing boats dominate the foreground, one with its sail raised and the nearer vessel bearing an abbreviated reference to Great Yarmouth. Along the shoreline to the right are small groups of figures and a horse-drawn vehicle, while sailing vessels appear on the distant horizon. The plate is signed and dated within the image at lower right, “E.W.C. fecit 1828,” and the title “Yarmouth Cobles, on the beach” is engraved beneath the image. Cobles are distinctive traditional open fishing boats historically associated with the northeast coast of England. Their characteristic construction was developed for launching from and landing upon exposed beaches, making them an important part of Britain's historic coastal fishing culture. Edward William Cooke was one of the leading British marine artists of the 19th century. Fascinated by ships and naval architecture from an early age, Cooke produced remarkably accomplished etchings of boats, shipping and coastal subjects while still a teenager. This work dates from 1828, when Cooke was only about seventeen years old, making it an especially interesting example of his early graphic work. Cooke subsequently developed a distinguished career as a marine and landscape painter and was elected a Royal Academician. His detailed knowledge of ships and their construction gives his maritime works a particularly convincing documentary quality. The relatively small etched image is printed on a substantially larger sheet, creating an attractive expanse of original period paper around the composition. Condition: Excellent antique condition consistent with its age. General light toning. Some discoloration and age-related wear toward the sheet edges. The etched image itself remains clear and well defined. Please study the photographs carefully as they form an important part of the condition description.

Classical Mythological Figures Engraving, Montfaucon Antiquité Expliquée 1721 This original early eighteenth-century copper engraving originates from Bernard de Montfaucon’s monumental antiquarian publication L’Antiquité expliquée et représentée en figures, published in Paris in 1721. Widely regarded as one of the most important scholarly works of the Enlightenment, Montfaucon’s encyclopedic study systematically documented the art, mythology, and material culture of the ancient world, laying essential foundations for modern archaeology and art history. The plate presents a carefully arranged compilation of mythological and sculptural studies derived from ancient sources. Multiple vignettes depict classical figures, relief fragments, and symbolic motifs recorded from antique sculptures, gems, and coins. The composition functions almost as a visual catalogue, comparing different representations of mythological subjects collected from prominent European antiquarian collections, including references to works associated with scholars such as Maffei and other early collectors of classical antiquities. At the bottom of the composition, two triton-like sea beings with human torsos and serpent tails raise a nude female figure above the waves, evoking marine mythology connected to nereids, sea deities, or allegorical representations of Venus emerging from the sea. Surrounding studies include winged figures, sculptural heads, medallions, and mythological scenes rendered with remarkable clarity. Montfaucon’s analytical approach—placing multiple related images together for comparison—reflects the Enlightenment ambition to classify and interpret antiquity through visual evidence. The engraving demonstrates the refined precision of early eighteenth-century Parisian copperplate engraving, characterized by delicate linework, balanced spacing, and restrained tonal shading. Beyond its scholarly significance, the plate possesses strong decorative appeal, combining classical imagery with an elegant graphic structure that suits both traditional and contemporary interiors. This original antique engraving is offered unframed, allowing flexibility to select a frame appropriate to the intended interior or collection setting. Condition: Good antique condition with age-related toning and light paper discoloration consistent with early eighteenth-century prints...

Antique Istanbul Panorama from Mount Bulgurlu, Constantinople – Bartlett, c.1839 A beautifully composed panoramic view of Constantinople as seen from Mount Bulgurlu, after W.H. Bartlett, one of the most influential travel artists of the 19th century. This engraving presents a sweeping vista across the Bosporus toward the historic skyline of Istanbul, dotted with domes and minarets and animated by ships moving through the water. Published in London around 1839 by Fisher, Son & Co., the print exemplifies the romantic yet topographically accurate style that made Bartlett’s work so widely admired. The foreground, with figures resting beneath trees and a caravan scene, adds narrative charm and scale to the expansive city view beyond. The composition is particularly effective in its layering: from the shaded foreground to the luminous water and the distant city bathed in soft atmospheric light. The delicate hand-coloring enhances this depth, with subtle greens, blues, and warm tones harmonizing across the landscape. Panoramic views such as this were among the most desirable images for 19th-century collectors and remain highly decorative today, offering both historical interest and strong visual impact. Note: All items we offer are authentic period works of art over 100 years old. The print is sold unframed; any framed images are shown for presentation and interior inspiration only. Condition: Good condition. General age toning and some scattered foxing, primarily in the margins. Plate mark visible. Image area remains bright with attractive original coloring. Framing tips: Ideal for a wide mount and a classic dark wood or ebonized frame to enhance the panoramic effect. Also suitable for a lighter, Paris-style presentation for a brighter interior. Technique: Steel engraving with original hand-coloring Maker: W.H. Bartlett (after), engraved by R. Brandard, London, circa 1839 Keywords: Constantinople panorama, Istanbul antique...
