Description:
- Engraving New Church of Our Lady of Copenhagen.
- All the titles and signatures are outside the plate.
- In the upper margin is the legend 'Danemark - Denmark'.
- In the lower margin is the legend 'Nouvelle Eglise Notre Dame à Copenhague'.
- In the upper right-hand corner is printed the number '21', which suggests that the engraving is number 21 of a series.
- Augustin François Lemaître: French engraver, lithographer, designer, publisher and photographer. He depicted many landscapes, monuments, architecture and people, especially during his many travels in Europe.
- Intaglio etching on steel plate, although another technique could also have been used.
- Produced in a single-colour black tone, very well inked.
- It is probably an engraving belonging to a book.
Conservation and Damage:
- General condition: Fair.
- The ink is very good, and it has a good stamping.
- The engraving is on medium-thick paper of fair quality.
- The engraving has suffered from humidity, so the paper has several humidity stains and rust spots, especially in the central part of the engraving.
- The engraving is dirty, and the edges are even dirtier, with very small tears, and the tips are slightly deteriorated with slight bends.
- A light washing and bleaching would be a very good result.
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.
