Fine Steel Engraving - 1875 Book Plate
Warwick Castle

Satisfaction Guaranteed

This picture is a full-page book plate from Picturesque Europe: Delineation by Pen and Pencil; published by D. Appleton and Company, NY, in 1875. (Copyright notice for the book appears above.)

This is a fine steel plate engraving--on heavy paper which is blank on the reverse. 
The leaf has been carefully removed from a book that was published and printed in 1875--it is not a modern copy.   The printed image is about 8.75" x 5.75" with ample margins for easy matting and framing. 

Warwick Castle was first built as a fortress, with Towers so that they had a view for miles around. It stayed in the Earl of Warwick's hands until 1604 when the Greville family took it over.

The artist was P. Skelton; and the engraver was J. Guthwaite.

Condition: The printed area is excellent. There is a very little darkening at the extremities of the sheet--well away from the printed image.
