An Aquatint Engraving After a J.M.W. Turner Painting "Beauport" Manor in Sussex

Offered by: Timeless Intaglio – Rare Prints, Maps & Books

Description
A colored aquatint after a drawing and a watercolor landscape by Joseph Mallord William (J. M. W.) Turner (1775–1851) entitled Beauport. The engraving was created by Joseph Constantine Stadler in London in 1818 for a series called "Four Large Coloured Views in Sussex".

Beauport House, near Hastings, England was built by General James Murray and named after Beauport in Canada where he had served as Governor, 1763–7. It depicts a serene English landscape, with a man waving to the stagecoach traveling along a road in the foreground in a large cloud of dust. Beauport manor house is seen in the distance on a hill on the right, with expansive countryside and the sea in the background on the left.

This engraving is presented in a burl frame with black inner and outer trim, with a deep fabric mat and a gold fillet.
