Welcome to this
NO-RESERVE
auction for the pictured
Framed
Print
of a
1787
Engraving
of--and Entitled--
"
Great Malvern Abbey Worcestershire
."
* I am selling this for a friend... He knows little about it other than he got it at an estate auction a year or so ago and is (1) retiring soon, (2) moving soon, and (3) wants to sell it.
I know little about it as well
; so I have taken lots of pics. What I have been able to figure out or assume from inspecting the piece and some online research follows.
* According to a UK art dealer: "
This print was published in an
1787
edition of "
The Antiquities of England and Wales
", by
Francis Grose
. Francis Grose (1731–1791) was an antiquary and lexicographer, of Swiss extraction. He published Antiquities of England and Wales (1773–87), which was well received, and thereafter, in 1789, set out on an antiquarian tour through Scotland, the fruit of which was Antiquity of Scotland (1789–91). He afterwards undertook a similar expedition to Ireland, but died suddenly at Dublin.
TYPE:
Antique copper plate engraving printed on paper
