A quiet view of Perugia, the old hill town in Umbria, seen from a dirt lane just outside the walls. A stone gateway sits on the left, with a small figure standing in the archway; tall trees lean over the path, and the town rises in the distance, its towers and cathedral against a soft gray sky. The colors are gentle — olive greens, warm golds, and clay-red rooftops. It reproduces a 19th-century engraving by William Brockedon, engraved by Robert Brandard, for Blackie & Son of Glasgow, Edinburgh, and London, with all the original printed credits and the title "Perugia" in script below the image.
Presented in a clean mat with a slim silver-tone frame. A small, easy piece for a gallery wall, a bookshelf, or anywhere you want a bit of the Italian countryside.
Dimensions: 10" H x 11 1/2" W
Medium: Print on paper

Origin: Reproduces a view published by Blackie & Son, Glasgow, Edinburgh & London
Signature/mark: Printed in the lower margin: "BLACKIE & SON. GLASGOW. EDINBURGH & LONDON." at left, "Drawn by W. Brockedon; engraved by R. Brandard." at right, and the title "Perugia" in script at center; these credits are part of the reproduced image
Disclosures: Sold as-is in good vintage condition, framed; the paper shows toning, small brown spots, and light staining across the lower margin from possible water damage (visible in the photos); this is a vintage print, not an original 19th-century engraving
