GLOSTER Cathedrall

Knightly Chetwood D.D. Dean.

Drawn & engraved by Johannes Kip

Published 1712 in the first edition of "The Ancient and Present State of Glocestershire" by Sir Robert Atkyns.

An original early 18th century copper engraved antique print of Gloucester Cathedral, Gloucestershire, England by Johannes Kip. 

The leading image shows the print to the platemark, as it would appear when mounted/matted ready for framing. See also close-up and overall views.

Kip's famous series of sweeping bird's eye views are widely collected for their aesthetic qualities as well as being valuable historic records.

A crisp dark impression from the scarce first edition of Atkyns' Gloucestershire on robust hand laid paper, blank verso. 

 A minor edge split (margin only) to the central fold has been repaired verso and insignificant age related blemishes, otherwise a lovely example in fine, clean condition, centre fold as issued.

 Approx. 18" x 16" (450mm x 400mm) overall.
