The Pantheon and Piazza della Rotonda, Rome – Benoist 1869 Lithograph NOTE: This original antique lithograph is offered unframed, allowing the buyer full freedom of framing choice. Description: This impressive 19th-century lithograph depicts the Pantheon of Agrippa and the lively Piazza della Rotonda in Rome, one of the most iconic urban spaces of the Eternal City. Created by Félix Benoist after Bayot and published in Paris in 1869, the print forms part of the celebrated series Rome dans sa Grandeur, an ambitious artistic project dedicated to portraying Rome as a unified historical landscape where antiquity and modern life coexist. The composition centers on the monumental façade of the Pantheon, its classical portico supported by massive Corinthian columns and crowned by the famous inscription honoring Marcus Agrippa. The ancient temple—by the 19th century functioning as the Church of Santa Maria ad Martyres—dominates the scene with timeless architectural authority. In front of the building stands the fountain and obelisk of Piazza della Rotonda, anchoring the bustling square. Benoist enriches the architectural setting with animated scenes of daily Roman life. A preacher addresses a gathered crowd in the foreground, while families, children, merchants, and passersby fill the piazza, creating a vivid impression of civic and social activity. Horse-drawn carriages and market stalls further emphasize the Pantheon’s role not only as a historic monument but as the living center of an active neighborhood. This blending of monumentality and everyday life is characteristic of Rome dans sa Grandeur, reflecting the 19th-century fascination with Rome as both archaeological treasure and modern city. The lithographic technique demonstrates exceptional precision and tonal subtlety. Fine architectural detailing contrasts with soft atmospheric shading, lending depth to the sky and enhancing the sense of space within the square. The balanced composition and recognizable subject make this print particularly appealing to collectors of Roman views, Grand Tour imagery, and classical architectural prints...

Title: Set of Six Antique French Medieval Costume Prints by F. Roy, circa 1860 Description: A decorative and historically interesting set of six original antique French costume plates illustrating noble, royal and civilian dress from the Middle Ages. These plates originate from the French series Costumes civils et militaires des Français à travers les siècles, published in Paris by F. Roy and conceived as a visual survey of French civil and military dress across the centuries. The costumes were reconstructed from medieval manuscripts, architectural sculpture and other historical sources. Each engraving is enhanced with original hand colouring. The figures are shown in richly detailed period clothing, including royal robes, court dress, noble costume, civilian attire and the clothing of a medieval page and troubadour. The set consists of the following six plates: 1.

Minerals & Crystals Print: Quartz, Calcite, Ore Rocks, Crystal Shapes – Antique 1867 This detailed antique print depicts a variety of minerals, rocks, ores, and crystal shapes rendered in fine hand-coloured engravings. It originates from the Atlas der Natuurlijke Geschiedenis voor scholen en huisgezinnen, adapted into Dutch by T.C. Winkler after Traugott Bromme, and published in Amsterdam by J.C. Loman in 1867. Created for educational use, this plate introduced 19th-century students to mineralogy and crystallography, showing both rock specimens and geometric crystal models. The labelled figures include: 1–6. Crystal forms and geometric models (various prism, pyramid, and rhombohedron shapes used in mineralogy) 7\. Anthracite coal 8\. Bituminous coal 8a. Jet 8b. Lignite 9\. Sulphur ore 10\. Iron pyrite (fool’s gold) 10a. Iron ore with gangue 10b. Hematite ore 11\. Quartz crystal cluster 12\. Feldspar crystal 13\. Mica 14\. Calcite crystal 15\. Galena (lead ore) 16\. Malachite (copper carbonate) 17\. Rock crystal (quartz group) 18\. Siderite crystal 19\. Red jasper 20\. Petrified wood 21\. Baryte (heavy spar) 22\. Serpentine 23\. Garnet cluster 24–26. Further geometric crystal models showing mineral habit Produced using copper engraving with meticulous hand colouring, the print shows precise linear details and realistic mineral colours, capturing each sample’s luster, cleavage, and fracture for geological identification. These plates served as essential educational references before photographic mineral guides were widely available. Condition summary: Good condition for its age, with slight overall toning and minor scattered foxing mainly in the margins. The paper remains strong with no tears or repairs, and the hand colouring is vivid and well-preserved. Framing tips: Frame this mineralogy print in a black, dark wood, or walnut frame with a cream or off-white mount to enhance its fine engraved details and earthy mineral tones. For traditional settings, a gold frame adds antique warmth and museum-like sophistication. UV-protective glass is recommended to preserve colours and prevent further toning. This antique natural history print will enrich any geology, mineral art...
