ENGRAVING TYROL CASTLE. ITALY.

Description:
- Engraving Tirol, in Italy. Castle of the commune of Tirol, near Merano, in the South Tyrol. It was an ancestral seat of the counts of Tyrol and gave the whole region of Tyrol its name. The castle hill has been inhabited since ancient times.
- All titles and signatures are outside the plate. The draughtsman is unknown.
- In the upper margin is the legend 'Tirol-Tyrol'.
- In the lower margin is the legend 'Tyrol-Tyrol Castle'.
- In the upper right-hand corner is printed the number '7', which suggests that the engraving is number 7 in a series.
- The director, 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: Good.
- The upper side of the paper is not parallel to its opposite side, resulting in an irregularly shaped engraving.
- The engraving has a thin paper of regular quality.
- It is very well inked, and has a good stamping.
- The engraving has suffered from humidity, so the paper has damp stains and rust spots, all of which are more pronounced as we get closer to the edges.
- The engraving is dirty, with the edges being much dirtier, with very small tears, and the tips slightly deteriorated with slight bending.
- 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.
