About the Item
Title: View of Geneva from the Rhône River (Vue de Genève, Du côté de la chute du Rhône)
Description: This finely detailed engraving depicts a panoramic view of Geneva as seen from the Rhône River. The image captures the city’s distinctive skyline, including buildings, towers, and surrounding landscape, with particular attention to the natural elements along the riverbank. The scene showcases a tranquil moment by the water, where figures can be seen near the edge of the river, possibly engaging in daily tasks or travel.
The engraving is signed "Dessiné par Breguand d'après Le Roy" in the lower left corner, indicating that it was drawn by Breguand after an original work by Le Roy. The inscription "A.P.D.R." at the bottom center suggests it was published with the approval of the King ("Avec Privilège du Roi"), a common notation in French engravings of this period. The plate number "No. 69" appears in the lower right.
The engraving is a captivating representation of Geneva’s natural beauty and its architectural heritage, as viewed from the banks of the Rhône River. It exemplifies the artistry and precision characteristic of 18th-century landscape engravings, capturing the balance between urban and natural environments.
This engraving of Geneva, titled *Vue de Genève, Du côté de la chute du Rhône*, was likely created in the late 18th century, around the 1770s to early 1800s. The style of engraving, combined with the signature "A.P.D.R." (Avec Privilège du Roi), suggests it was produced in France during a period when many views of European cities were popularized through prints and engravings. The artist mentioned, Breguand, working after Le Roy, fits within this timeframe.

Engraved View of Bridgnorth, a Town in Shropshire, England, 1807
Located in Langweer, NL
This engraving is part of a collection showcasing the beauty of England and Wales, a series that was common in the 18th and 19th centuries to celebrate and document the picturesque landscapes and significant towns of Britain.
The text provided in the last image offers several details:
1. The title of the engraving is "BRIDGENORTH. Shropshire."
2. It was engraved by J. Greig from a drawing by the late E. Dayes.
3. The engraving was published in London by Vernor, Hood & Sharpe Poultry, February 1st, 1807.
4. It was created for "The Beauties of England and Wales."
The artwork depicts Bridgnorth, a town in Shropshire, England. The engraving would have been intended to capture the charm and appeal of Bridgnorth, with its notable bridge and surrounding architecture. Engravings like this one were often collected by those who appreciated the artistry of such views and by those who were interested in the topographical and historical significance of the location.
E. Dayes (the late Edward Dayes) was a well-known artist of the period, and J. Greig was the engraver who transferred Dayes' artwork into the medium of engraving. The publication date of February 1st, 1807, places this work in the early 19th century, a time when such engravings were a popular form of mass media, providing a visual understanding of places that many people might not have the opportunity to visit themselves.
The engraving serves as both an artistic and historical record, capturing Bridgnorth in the early 19th century with a level of detail and craftsmanship that is characteristic of the period's topographical art...
