About the Item

A RARE PAIR OF REVERSE GLASS PRINTS AFTER CLAUDE GELLE called Le Lorrain (c.1600-1682) Circa 1820. Hand coloured aquatint, published and printed by George Dawe RA (6 February 1781 – 15 October 1829). First, titled “ ITALIAN SEAPORT” 8 1/2" x 10 1/4" in., (21.5 x 26 cm.) Frame, 10 1/2" x 12 1/2" in., (26.7 x 31.8 cm.) Second, titled “ EMBARCATION OF ST.
