Map Of Devonshire, England.

This is a finely detailed original antique map (steel engraving) from 1831. The accompanying scan gives a general idea of the overall view but cannot show the fine detail of the print.

Steel Engraving:- A steel engraving is produced by cutting (engraving) an image into a steel plate. This is a process which takes a great many hours and a high level of skill. When the plate has been completed Ink is applied to it. It is then wiped clean so that ink is left in the cut lines only. Finally the plate is pressed against paper to produce an image.

Size:- printed area 9.25 x 7.25 inches approx. The scan is cropped to show the printed area only. The print has very narrow borders but they should be sufficient for mounting and framing.

Artist / Engraver:- Drawn & Engraved by J.&C. Walker.

Postage / Shipping Costs:- I only charge postage for the first print ordered. There is no additional postage charge if you order more than one print. If you order more than one print please request an invoice so that I can apply this offer. Prints are normally posted in strong cardboard tubes for maximum protection.
