Engraving of Sandwich in Kent, One of the Cinque Ports in the UK, 1841
About the Item
An engraving titled "Sandwich" by the British artist William Henry Bartlett, engraved by E. Challis in 1841. It depicts a view of the town of Sandwich in Kent, which is one of the Cinque Ports in the United Kingdom. Bartlett was known for his detailed and picturesque illustrations of topography, many of which were rendered into steel engravings.
William Henry Bartlett was an accomplished artist and illustrator, born in Kentish Town, London in 1809. He is recognized for his contributions to the illustration of topography and for his extensive travels, which allowed him to capture a variety of landscapes and urban scenes. Throughout his career, he visited many places, including Britain, the Balkans, the Middle East, and North America, producing a substantial body of work that was highly regarded for its attention to detail and composition.
Bartlett’s work, including this engraving of Sandwich, was characterized by his ability to capture the essence of the scenes before him, often including elements of the past such as ruins, churches, abbeys, cathedrals, and castles. His engravings were published in various travel books and were widely copied by other artists. Unfortunately, Bartlett died in 1854 from fever aboard a French ship off the coast of Malta.
This particular image would likely appeal to those interested in British history, architecture, and landscape art from the 19th century. The detailed rendering of Sandwich with its historic bridge and architecture, under the careful hand of Bartlett, makes it a valuable piece for collectors and enthusiasts of historical engravings.

Hand-Colored Engraving of the Ceiling of the Church of Santa Costanza in Frame
Located in Pembroke, MA
A large, nicely-framed Italian hand-colored engraving in tones of terracotta and black (17th century, with more recent matte and frame) by Pietro Bartoli. The engraving depicts the mosaic ceiling in the church of Santa Costanza outside of Rome, which was studied by the ecclesiatical archaeologist Giovanni Ciampini. The mosaic ceiling no longer exists, but is known through various depictions of the artwork, such as this engraving. The images include Christian imagery including the sacrifice of Cain and Abel and possibly Noah building the ark. The upper row of mosaics is believed to represent scenes from the New Testament, with caryatids dividing the ceiling into twelve segments. The engraving is captioned in Latin: "Opus Musiuum olim in tholo Templi, quod vulgo creditur Bacchi, nunc Sancte Constantie extra Portam Piam cariatides, et Telamones in duodecium dividant Segmenta, ubi plura autumnales ferias, et piscationis Genium demostrant, iuxta interpretionem Ciampini qui mediatatem exhibet Veterum monum." In the 17th century, the church of Santa Costanza was known as the "Temple of Bacchus," and was the site of rowdy Bacchic festivals until Pope Clement XI banned the rites in 1720. Pietro Santo...
