About the Item
Title: "Serenity Over the Thames: Lord Halesey's Elegant Seat in 1811"
Description: This exquisite print, titled "Seat of Lord Halesey," captures the grandeur of Lord Halesey's estate, also referred to as "Landsitz von Lord Halesey" and "Maison de Campagne de Lord Halesey," reflecting its bilingual presentation for a European audience.
The scene showcases a stately neoclassical mansion set along the River Thames, surrounded by lush gardens and trees, with swans gliding on the water and figures leisurely rowing or strolling in the foreground. The estate, located near London, exemplifies early 19th-century British aristocratic architecture and landscaping, emphasizing symmetry and elegance.
Published in 1811 in London by Tombleson and C.F. Petersham Row, as noted at the bottom, the print was created using aquatint, a technique that allowed for the soft tonal gradations seen in the sky and water, combined with hand-coloring to enhance the greenery and architectural details with subtle hues of green, yellow, and blue.
What makes this print particularly interesting is its depiction of a serene, idyllic lifestyle during the Regency era, a time of cultural refinement in Britain, contrasted with the historical context of the Napoleonic Wars occurring at the same period. The intricate floral border adds a decorative touch, framing the scene with an air of sophistication.
This artwork not only serves as a visual record of Lord Halesey’s estate but also reflects the era’s fascination with picturesque landscapes and the idealized country life of the British aristocracy.
A perfect piece for collectors of Regency-era art, British history, or architectural prints, this work offers a glimpse into the tranquil elegance of early 19th-century England, preserved through the skilled use of aquatint and hand-coloring techniques.
Condition Report: The print shows slight yellowing with minor foxing on the margins. A small tear is noted on the edge, faint creasing and one tiny dent. The image remains vibrant, rated good for its age.
Framing Tips: Use a double mat with a pale green inner mat and a cream outer mat to match the tones. A gilt frame will enhance the Regency elegance. Opt for UV-protective glass to prevent fading, and avoid direct sunlight.

Gentle Repose at Österby: An 1824 Aquatint by Ulrik Thersner
Located in Langweer, NL
Gentle Repose at Österby: An 1824 Aquatint by Ulrik Thersner.
This aquatint by Ulrik Thersner, created in 1824, depicts the serene landscape of Österby in Sweden. The image is suffused with a gentle light that bathes the scene in a warm, inviting glow. It features two individuals on horseback in the foreground, suggesting a tranquil pace of life and leisurely exploration. Their presence adds a narrative element to the scene, inviting viewers to contemplate the journey the riders are undertaking.
The central focus of the aquatint is the stately building situated by the water, likely a manor house or a significant estate of the time, reflecting the architectural style of the early 19th century. The estate is flanked by expansive, lush greenery and tall trees, with a prominent pine tree in the foreground that anchors the composition. The detailed rendering of the foliage and the atmospheric perspective in the background create a sense of depth and spaciousness.
In Skåne, Thersner had drawn several mansions in 1816, and he decided to publish a counterpart to Erik Dahlbergh's Suecia antiqua et hodierna. He called his work Fordna och present Sverige, and in 1817 began its publication. Carl Fredrik Akrell engraved the images, which were executed in aquatint. Eventually, Wilhelm Maximilian Carpelan joined the publication. The Scania part was completed in 1823, Östergötland was started in 1820 and Uppland and Södermanland in 1824-25. Thersner himself wrote the text for the pictures.
After Thersner's death, his widow, with the help of friends, continued the publication, which had never received public support. Michael Gustaf Anckarsvärd took over the publication, in lithographic form, until 1843. The work could be continued, partly with the drawings left by Thersner as templates, partly by Anckarsvärd and others contributing new drawings. In general, Anckarsvärd's work is considered superior to Thersner's. In 1843, the work was taken over by Thersner's daughter, Thora Thersner (1818-1867). She continued publishing until her death. Thora Thersner lithographed her drawings herself, which are usually considered conscientious, if somewhat dry and weak. During her time, among other things, the part about Närke (1838-55) was continued and completed. At the time of Thora Thersner's death, the entire work comprised 91 booklets, containing 364 plates with text. The publication had cost each subscriber 682 kroner and 50 öre.
More about the maker:
Ulrik Thersner was a multifaceted individual, having an impactful military career alongside his work as a draftsman and topographer. Born on April 2, 1779, in Kyrkslätt parish in Finland, Thersner began his military service early, becoming a ship's boy in the Swedish navy at the tender age of seven. His naval service during Gustav III's Russian War...
