This etching engraving shows a distant view of Kensington Palace and the Queen's Temple from the Serpentine River First created in 1744 by engraver and retailer John Tinney after a painting by Anthony HIghmore. An original of this work is in the collection of the British Museum. This edition is hand-colored and printed on laid paper and shows aging on its reverse side. In excellent antique condition - it is presented in a back and gilt frame behind a hand-ruled bordered mat faced with glass. On the back is display the original label from the esteemed Parker Gallery at 2 Albemarle Street London which dates from the 1950's. Please note that we are offering two Tinney Kensington prints separately which were framed and originally sold as a pair. See separate listing for further details.

With Frame the total compilation measures 20.5" high x 25.5" wide x .50" deep.

In very good antique condition. The engraving itself displays no foxing, fading, tears, folds, or issues of note. When removed from its frame the engraving back shows some signs of aging. And the mat has some "shadows" around its outer edge where it lay hidden behind the frame. Given the age we assume that the vintage glass offers NO UV protection. And that the mat itself and backing are not acid free. See photos for details.
