Up for sale is a wonderful, authentic 19th-century steel line engraving titled "A Scene at Abbotsford" depicting hounds, armor, and hunting falconry motifs from the estate of Sir Walter Scott.
This piece was originally painted by the renowned animalier artist Sir Edwin Landseer (A.R.A.) and intricately engraved on steel by Charles Westwood.
Frame & Presentation:
The print is housed in what appears to be its original mid-19th-century simple black wood frame. The frame corners feature period-correct, square-headed cut nails and wavy antique glass. The back of the original wood backing board bears an early pencil inscription reading "1853" along with "Landseer A.R.A." (A newer metal hanging bracket has been safely added over the reverse to ensure secure wall mounting).
Total Frame Size: Approx. 8 5/8" x 6 5/8" x 1/2" thick- Visible Image Window: Approx. 4 3/4" x 3 3/4"
Condition:
The piece is in good antique condition, showing beautiful age-appropriate character. The print shows crisp line work with minimal toning. The period frame shows light edge wear, minor paint loss, and small scuffs consistent with its 170+ year history, adding excellent rustic charm and authenticity. Please see all close-up photos for exact condition details.
