A Set of Nine 19th Century Topographical Steel Engravings - This collection consists of nine framed antique topographical steel engravings primarily depicting English architectural and landscape views from the early to mid-19th century. The subjects include neoclassical municipal buildings, an industrial mill, and specific identified locations. One print is titled S. E. VIEW OF ST. LUKE'S CHURCH, LIVERPOOL and another is titled PRESTON. Other prints contain minute lines of text below the images including artist and engraver names. The engravings exhibit the fine, precise line work and varied tonal ranges characteristic of the period's book illustrations. The prints are housed in a coordinating set of dark wood frames with gilt-toned inner beads.
