Title: Original Antique Print of Peru, Bolivia & Chile – Lima Cathedral and Views, c.1855 Description: An original antique wood-engraved print titled "Peru, Bolivia, Chile", featuring a series of finely engraved views and ethnographic scenes from the west coast of South America. The print was published in Germany around the mid-nineteenth century. At the centre of the composition is a detailed view of the Cathedral of Lima, one of the most important landmarks of the former Viceroyalty of Peru. Surrounding this principal image are ten smaller engraved vignettes illustrating the landscapes, wildlife, architecture and people of Peru, Bolivia and Chile. The scenes include the Cathedral of Chuquisaca (Sucre, Bolivia), llamas and alpacas in the Andes, the Andean condor, Indigenous inhabitants, horsemen, traders, the marketplace of Santiago de Chile, a river scene on the Marañón, tropical Indigenous dwellings, and daily life across the region. Together they provide a fascinating nineteenth-century European overview of the geography, cultures and natural history of western South America. The print combines architecture, ethnography, zoology and landscape into a single decorative composition, making it both historically informative and visually attractive. Such composite engravings were intended to introduce readers to distant countries through carefully selected representative scenes. This is an original antique print printed...

Antique Paris Views Set of 6, Chamouin Engravings – Louvre, Concorde Description: A refined and highly decorative set of six original 19th-century engravings depicting some of the most celebrated landmarks of Paris, published by Chamouin in Paris circa 1855. These views belong to the renowned series Vues de Paris, prises au daguerréotype, a remarkable project that translated early photographic imagery into finely detailed steel engravings. The set includes prominent and instantly recognizable sites such as the Nouveau Louvre, Place de la Concorde, Hôtel de Ville, Palais du Sénat (Luxembourg), Bois de Boulogne, and the Palais de l’Industrie. Each composition presents a carefully structured perspective, combining grand architectural settings with animated scenes of Parisian life—figures in period dress, horse-drawn carriages, and leisurely promenades—capturing the elegance and rhythm of the city during the Second Empire. What makes this series particularly desirable is its direct connection to early photography. Based on daguerreotypes, these engravings possess an exceptional clarity and realism, offering a more precise and atmospheric depiction of Paris than earlier engraved views. The balance between documentary accuracy and refined engraving technique results in a visually sophisticated and historically rich body of work. As a cohesive group, the six prints form a harmonious decorative ensemble. The consistent format, tonal unity, and architectural focus make them ideally suited for display as a gallery wall—whether in a classic 2x3 arrangement or a linear presentation. Together, they create a timeless Parisian narrative that appeals equally to collectors and interior designers seeking an elegant European aesthetic. This is an original 19th-century set, not a reproduction. All items we offer are authentic period works of art over 100 years old. The prints are sold unframed; any framed images are shown for presentation and interior inspiration only and may not always be to scale. Condition report: Overall in good condition for age, with typical light toning and occasional spotting to the margins. Minor handling wear and age-related marks. Plate impressions visible. Strong, clean impressions with good contrast throughout. Framing tips: Best displayed as a unified gallery wall in a 2x3 arrangement. Particularly effective in dark walnut or ebonized frames with wide ivory or off-white mats for a classic museum-style presentation. For a lighter, contemporary interior, consider thin black or bronze frames with crisp white mats to enhance the architectural detail.
