Steel Engraving of Adelphi Terrace on the Thames, London, 1835
Located in Langweer, NL
The engraving is an original uncolored print of Adelphi Terrace in London. This type of print would have been created by incising lines into a steel plate, which was then used to transfer ink onto paper. The absence of color means that the viewer's attention is drawn to the intricate lines and shading that depict the scene.
The title refers to the subject of the image itself – the row of neoclassical Georgian townhouses located on the River Thames in London, known as the Adelphi Terrace. The Adelphi complex was developed by the Adam brothers in the 1760s and was one of the most fashionable addresses in London during the 18th and 19th centuries. The title of such works is typically a straightforward description of the scene or landmark depicted in the print.
The Adelphi Terrace engraving showcases the following details:
- **Architectural Accuracy**: The buildings of Adelphi Terrace are rendered with architectural precision, reflecting the neoclassical style of the period. The facades of the townhouses are depicted with their characteristic symmetry, decorative window frames, and grand entryways.
- **River Thames Activity**: The foreground features the River Thames, with various boats and barges indicative of the river traffic of the time, which was essential for commerce and transportation.
- **Vignettes of Daily Life**: Small figures can often be seen in such engravings, giving a glimpse into the everyday life of the era, with individuals possibly depicted walking along the terrace or engaging in activities on the riverbanks.
- **Sky and Atmosphere**: The sky might be rendered with careful cross-hatching to give an impression of the weather and time of day, contributing to the overall mood of the scene.
- **Border Artwork**: The borders are adorned with ornate designs, possibly elements of the Gothic Revival style popular at the time, which include floral patterns, ribbons, and cherubic figures or allegorical motifs.
- **Attention to Detail**: The artist would have paid close attention to details such as the texture of the water, the foliage of any trees, and the play of light and shadow on the buildings and the landscape.

Rare 19th-Century Lithograph of Exotic Marsupials: Koala, Wombat & Phalanger
Located in Langweer, NL
Exquisite 19th-Century Lithograph of Exotic Marsupials: Koala, Wombat & Phalanger
Description: This finely detailed 19th-century lithograph showcases a collection of marsupial species, including a flying phalanger, a grey koala, and a wombat. The engraving is part of an extensive zoological series that aimed to document and illustrate rare and exotic mammals from around the world. The print is attributed to the work of celebrated natural history illustrators of the period, executed with precision and artistry to capture the distinctive characteristics of these fascinating creatures. The lithograph was produced using high-quality techniques that reflect the scientific enthusiasm of the 19th century, a period when European explorers and naturalists were bringing back discoveries from distant lands, including Australia.
The artwork highlights the squirrel-like flying phalanger, gliding with its extended patagium, the grey koala, shown clinging to a eucalyptus branch, and the wombat, depicted on the ground with its characteristic sturdy build. Each animal is meticulously rendered, emphasizing their fur textures and natural postures, making it not only a valuable scientific document but also a beautiful decorative piece.
This print is an exceptional example of natural history illustration, making it ideal for collectors of zoological engravings, museum-quality art enthusiasts, or those with an interest in Australian wildlife.
