DESCRIPTION OF PRINT: An original very early Victorian steel engraving from the 1830s, depicting The Canongate During the Procession of His Majesty George IV (Edinburgh, August 22nd, 1822). It was the visit to Scotland of George IV (formerly better known as the Price Regent and the enthusiastic supporter of the 'Regency Style') which caused the initial interest in all things Scottish, particularly tartan, an interest further encouraged by Queen Victoria when she bought Balmoral. BIOGRAPHY OF ARTIST AND HISTORY OF THIS PRINT: Thomas Allom, painter and architect, (1804-1872) was born in London, England on 13th March 1804. He was articled to Francis Goodwin, an architect in 1819. He was to become a founder member of the R.I.B.A. (Royal Institute of British Architects - which is still the premier institution today). He is best know for his topographical drawings, so many of which were engraved on steel & appeared in many of the travel books of the time. He travelled extensively, not just in the UK & Europe, but further afield, covering such countries as Turkey & China. Collections of his work can be found in the British Museum and the Victoria & Albert Museum. Allom worked mostly for the Fisher, Son & Co. publishing house of London, but during the late 1830s completed several sketches of the landscape and architecture scenery of Scotland for publisher George Virtue & Co. Allom traveled throughout the Scottish countryside, visiting the cities, towns and parishes, lochs and glens; recording with paint and brush the scenic views of the country. His works of Scotland are all dated between 1834-1838. Please note: the terms used in our auctions for engraving, etching, heliogravure, lithograph, photogravure etc. are ALL prints on paper, and NOT blocks of steel or wood. "ENGRAVINGS" is the term commonly used for these paper prints that were created from a master plate, and were the most common method in the 1700s and 1800s for illustrating old books. These paper prints or "engravings" were inserted into the book with a tissue guard or onion skin frontis to protect them from transferring the image to the opposite page. These prints were usually on much thicker quality woven rag stock paper, although many were also printed and issued as loose stand alone lithographs. So this auction is for an antique paper print(s), probably from an old book, of very high quality and usually on very thick rag stock paper. A NOSTALGIC VIEW OF SCOTTISH SCENERY !
