“Picturesque Europe: A Delineation by Pen and
Pencil of the Natural Features and the Picturesque and
Historical Places of Great Britain and the Continent”
is the companion work to Picturesque America.
It, too, contains many beautiful woodcuts & steel
engravings by famous American & European artists of the
period such as Harry Fenn, Birket Foster, E. George, L.
J. Wood, J. D. Woodward, C. Werner, E. Compton, S.
Hodson, W. Simpson & P. Skeleton.
The work was completed in the height of the Victorian
era, when it was fashionable to travel to many of the
locations illustrated to “take the waters” or embark on
the “European Tour”. Sold originally by subscription,
in blue wrappers, these romantic views became wildly
successful. Today, it is a beautiful snapshot of an
idyllic time in Europe, before the devastation of two
World Wars that were to follow in the next century.
Much of the history of the countries visited was
addressed & it presents a fascinating glimpse of the
ancient monuments & history of the countries visited.
For those aficionados of Picturesque America,
these scenes are equally compelling, nothing more so
than Capri, which is magical in its beauty.
Each print is a steel engraving measures
approximately 12 1/2 inches by 9 1/2 inches. The
condition of the plates is excellent, with the paper
being a fine, heavy, wove type. The hand coloring is
the recent work of our professional English colorists &
is superbly beautiful. If there is a special spot in
Europe that has captured your heart, you may find it
here.
