$30.00

Antique print of Sandhurst Wellington College in Berkshire, England. A grand and many-chimneyed edifice of this eminent English college, engraved for "The Illustrated London News" published circa 1859.

"The Illustrated London News" was the world's first graphic newspaper. Having been at risk of closing prior to inclusion of engraved illlustrations of newsworthy information from around the world, The Illustrated London News was published weekly from 1842, and its engraved images of events and discoveries from around the world ensured its popularity, and resulted in the tradition of collecting engravings – and often colouring them for further enjoyment.

This engraving has fine later hand-colour, and is available mounted in navy-blue conservation mattboard with gold line decoration – or un-mounted? Page size is 40 x 27 cm (approximately 16 x 11 inches).
