ENGRAVING DETAILS ARCHITECTURE. S.XIV.

Description:
- Engraving of architectural details from the 14th century.
- All the titles and signatures are outside the plate.
- In the upper margin it has the legend 'Francia (SºXIV) - France (XIVºS)'.
- In the lower margin is the legend 'Details d'Architecture du XIV Siecle - Details de Arquitectura del S.XIV'.
- In the upper right corner is printed the number '416', which suggests that the engraving is number 416 of a series.
- In the lower right corner, the engraver signs only as Rouargue, so it is by one of the two Rouargue brothers. In our opinion, the author of the engraving plate is most probably Adolphe Rouargue (1810 - 1870).
- Chalcographic etching on steel plate, although another technique could also have been used.
- Produced in black monochrome.
- It is probably an engraving from a book.

Conservation and Damage:
- General condition: Good.
- The ink is very good, and it has a good stamping.
- The engraving is on medium-thick paper of average thickness and regular quality, glued at the corners to another paper.
- The upper margin is scarce, as is the lower margin. The side margins are wide.
- The engraving has suffered from humidity, so the paper has damp stains and rust spots.
- The engraving is dirty, with the edges being much dirtier, with very small tears, and the tips slightly deteriorated with slight bending.
- If a light washing and bleaching were applied to it, the result would be very good.

Comments:
- Measurements are approximate.
- Ideal engraving as a decorative element.
- The tones of the colours in the photos are not the same as the tones of the real colours.
- The Engraving for sale is the one that corresponds to the photos. The description is not a detailed exposition of it.
- The data provided here are personal opinions not contrasted.
