Good Pair of Hand-Colored Steel Engravings Circa 1843

Thomas Allom (1804-1872) was a notable architect and topographical illustrator active during the mid-19th century, and was one of the founding members of the Royal Institute of British Architects. His extensive travels were the source material for his prolific career as an artist/illustrator, and scores of his drawings were engraved and incorporated into travel books all across Europe.

Size and Condition: Both pieces have an image size of 7 1/2 inches in width, 5 inches in height. The images themselves are perfect; there is some random light soiling to the border areas and tape residue on the back apparently from a previous mounting.

(Please note that due to the modest price point for this listing, we cannot include it in our special giveaway for free reference books, sorry.)
