Pair Hand-Colored Estate Engravings After Johannes Kip – Broadwell & Nibley
$ 366.96
Description
Offered here is a matching pair of hand-colored architectural estate engravings after Johannes Kip, depicting two historic English country houses: • Broadwell, the Seat of Danvers Hodges Esq. • Nibley, the Seat of George Smyth Esq These are engraved prints (not paintings) with hand-applied watercolor, presented in coordinating wood frames. The scenes show elevated aerial views of the estates, gardens, roads, and surrounding countryside — classic examples of Kip-style country house imagery originally published in the early 18th century. IMPORTANT – PLEASE READ These are later impressions after Johannes Kip, not early-18th-century first-state originals. The engravings are authentic copperplate/steel-plate prints with later hand coloring, most likely dating to the 19th century. They are decorative antique prints, not modern reproductions, but also not museum-grade originals from Kip’s lifetime. I am pricing them accordingly and transparently.
