Description:
- Engraving by Inspruck. Capital of the western state of Tyrol in Austria. It is known for its imperial and modern architecture.
- The engraving shows an Inspruck street with characters from the period.
- All titles and signatures are outside the plate.
- In the upper margin it has the legend 'Tyrol - Tyrol'.
- On the lower margin is the legend 'Inspruck'.
- In the upper right-hand corner it is printed with the number '11', which suggests that the engraving is the number 11 of a series.
- In the lower right-hand corner, the Engraver signs as E. Lejeune.
- In the lower left corner, the artist signs as Vormser.
- In the lower margin, in the centre, the director signs as Lemaitre (Augustin François Lemaître).
- Augustin François Lemaître: French engraver, lithographer, designer, editor and photographer. He depicted many landscapes, monuments, architectures and people, especially during his many travels around Europe.
- Etching on steel, although a different technique could have been used.
- It is probably an engraving belonging to a book.
Conservation and damage:
- General condition: Good.
- It is very well in ink, and has a good printing.
- Made in black monochrome tone, very good of ink.
- The upper side of the paper and the lateral margins do not maintain the parallel to its opposite side, resulting in the paper of the Engraving with an irregular shape.
- The Engraving has a thin and regular quality paper.
- The engraving is dirty, with the edges rather dirtier, with very small tears, and the ends slightly deteriorated with slight folds. It has small stains of humidity and rust.
- If it is slightly washed and bleached, the result would be very good.
Comments:
- The measurements are approximate.
- Ideal as a collector's item and a decorative element.
- The fact that the engraving has a distinctive mark or contrast is very important in order to identify data such as the engraver, the artist, the place where it was printed and other details.
- Because it is inevitable that there will be differences in tones between photos and reality, you should bear in mind that the tones of the colours in the photos are not exactly the same as the tones of the real colours.
- The Engraving on sale is the one that corresponds to the photos, which in turn are complemented in this Description, with the aim of providing a better knowledge of the Object, and never being a detailed exhibition of it.
- The data provided here are not contrasted personal opinions.
