ENGRAVING ARCHITECTURE 1 GRAS. TEMPLES, PYRAMIDS AND PLANS.

Description:
- Engraving corresponding to Plate 1 of Architecture, belonging to the Popular Illustrated Encyclopaedia of Sciences and Arts, made by Federico Gillman, and formed according to the Iconographic Encyclopaedia and the Conversations Lexicon of Germany.
- The engraving depicts various elements of ancient Egypt related to architecture, such as a plan of a temple at Karnac, a capital, the vertical section of a pyramid, and so on.
- In the upper margin is the title ‘ARCHITECTURE’, and in the upper right-hand corner is printed ‘Lam. 1’, which identifies it as Engraving No. 1 in a series on architecture.
- In the lower margin are the identifications of the different elements such as the temple of Isambúl, a relief of a temple, a plan of the main courtyard of the temple of Luxor, etc.
- Intaglio etching on steel, although another technique could also have been used.
- It is in single-colour black tone, very well inked, centred with acceptable margins and with a good stamping.
- The fact that the engraving has a distinctive mark or contrast is of great importance in order to be able to identify data such as the engraver, the artist, the place where it was printed and other details.

Conservation and Damage:
- General condition Good.
- The engraving is on medium-thick paper of fair quality.
- The paper is somewhat dirty, but there are hardly any rust stains.
- The engraving has small tears and folds at the edges and tips.
- If a cleaning is applied to it, the result could be very acceptable.
