Framed Print - Cardiff Castle - Genuine Antique Print 1830 (Preloved)

A genuine antique print - almost 200 years old!

19th-century topographical print of Cardiff Castle. The view shows Cardiff Castle before William Burges’ dramatic Victorian remodelling of the interiors (which began in the 1860s).

• This is a hand-coloured engraving (or aquatint), not a lithograph. The muted palette (greys, soft greens, stone tones) is consistent with early 19th-century hand colouring.
• Set in a wood and gold gilt frame and glazed in glass
• The caption reads “Cardiff Castle, Glamorganshire”, with the subtitle “The seat of the Marquess of Bute” which places it firmly in the period when the Bute family owned and transformed the castle into a Gothic Revival residence.
• Back says The Hayes Bookshop, Cardiff and 'John Hammond Historic Prints - A Genuine Print published around 1830'
• Has a hanger at the back
• Approximate measurements: frame: 28 x 24 cms. PIcture: 16 x 12 cms.

Condition: Good
