Description:
- Engraving corresponding to Plate 20 of Architecture, belonging to the Popular Illustrated Encyclopaedia of Science and Arts, produced by Federico Gillman, and based on the Iconographic Encyclopaedia and the Conversations Lexicon of Germany.
- The engraving shows several rooms, along with mosaics and decorations from the Alhambra in Granada. It also shows the El-Mojed mosque in Cairo.
- The upper margin bears the title ‘ARCHITECTURE’, and the upper right corner is printed with ‘Lam. 20’, identifying it as Engraving number 20 in a series on architecture.
- The lower margin contains the identifications of the different rooms and Moorish decorations.
- Etched engraving on steel, although another technique could also have been used.
- Produced in a single black tone, very well inked, centred with acceptable margins and good printing.
- The fact that the engraving has a distinctive mark or contrast is very important in order to identify details such as the engraver, the artist, the place where it was printed and other details.
