ENGRAVING ARCHITECTURE 11. TRAJAN COLUMN, ADRIAN MAUSOLEUM, ETC.

Description:
- Engraving corresponding to Plate 11 of Civilisation, 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 ancient buildings such as Trajan's column, the temple of Vesta in Tivoli, the basilica of Maxentius in Rome, etc.
- In the upper margin is the title ‘CIVILISATION’, and in the upper right-hand corner is printed ‘Lam. 11’, which identifies it as engraving number 11 in a series on civilisations.
- In the lower margin are the identifications of the different buildings of antiquity and the details of each one of them.
- Intaglio etching on steel, although another technique could also have been used.
- It is in single-colour black, very well inked, centred with acceptable margins and with good stamping.
- It is very important that the engraving has a distinctive mark, mark or contrast, 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.
