ENGRAVING PORTICO OF THE CATHEDRAL OF AIX. FRANCE.

Description:
- Engraving Portico of the Cathedral of Aix.
- All the titles and signatures are outside the plate.
- In the upper margin is the legend ‘Francia (Merovingios) - France (Merovingiens)’.
- In the lower margin is the legend ‘Portique de la Cathedrale d'Aix - Portico of the Cathedral of Aix’.
- The number ‘153’ is printed in the upper right-hand corner, which suggests that the engraving is number 153 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 a different 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: Good.
- The upper side of the paper does not keep the parallel to its opposite side, resulting in an irregularly shaped engraving paper.
- The ink is very good and the print is well stamped.
- The engraving has a thin paper of regular quality, glued at the corners to another paper.
- The engraving has small rust spots on the edges and in the lower area.
- If a light washing and bleaching were applied to it, the result would be very good.

- The tones of the colours in the photos are not the same as the tones of the real colours.
