Early Ephemera and Grand Tour Souvenirs

Sign In to see what this sold for

Early Ephemera and Grand Tour Souvenirs, 18th/19th century, comprised of an 18th century receipt on vellum with an attached Italian plaster Grand Tour intaglio, h. 7", w. 6", an Italian 19th century Grand Tour souvenir mounted on green watered silk, h. 6", w. 11", and a handwritten 19th century French letter, in modern gilt frames, h. 15-1/2", w. 19-1/2".

Great decorative lot. The letter a bit darkened with staining at the center (see photo on line). The small receipt darkened overall, the intaglio a bit soiled with tiny nicks to the edge. The framed intaglio with a short shallow scratch and scattered rubbing to the high points. All of the above consistent with age.
