Alnwick : W. Davison, 1830. A handsome and rare print of the eighteenth-century hall, sold together both with its pair, "Chain Bridge, over the South Tyne, at the West Boat near Hexham, Northumberland" (1829) and the original publisher's [ca. 1829] prospectus for the two prints - "Now engraving, in a superior style, by Mr. Kerr ...". Both prints were engraved by James Kerr of Glasgow (fl.1825-1854), the first from a drawing by the Newcastle artist James Wilson Carmichael, the second from a study by the noted local surveyor and civil engineer, Thomas Sopwith (1803-1879).
Three items. The two line-engravings of engraved surface 170 x 205mm (approx. 6-3/4" x 8-1/8") and 168 x 206mm (approx. 6-5/8" x 8-1/8") respectively, the latter on Whatman paper watermarked 1828; the letterpress prospectus a single sheet 222 x 208mm (approx. 8-3/4" x 8-1/4") printed in black on recto only. The two engravings with a hint of dusting, with some minor wear and creasing to outer blank margins, the prospectus a little tanned and slightly spotted, with a single short nick, but overall in very good and clean condition - and forming a remarkable and unsusually homogenous whole from the printing-house of William Davison of Alnwick (1780-1858).
