It is a fact of life that buildings, as they age, inevitably fall apart. We Americans are not quite comfortable with this. We like everything to be shiny and new: we like all our buildings and our interior finishes to have the smooth sameness of youth. But the Japanese have developed a way of dealing with this. They have, in fact, embraced the idea that sometimes fixing broken things can make them even better and more beautiful than when they were new.

This authentic 130-year-old print was rescued from a disbound volume of The Encyclopaedia Britannica - A Dictionary of Arts, Sciences, and General Literature - Ninth Edition – 1875-1889 – Edinburgh: Adam & Charles Black. This rare antique AQUEDUCT print is of the REMAINS OF AQUEDUCT OF METZ; AQUEDUCT OF PONT DU GARD NEAR NISMES; AQUEDUCT OF MAINTENON; AQUEDUCT DEL TORRE, SPOLETO; CHIRK AQUEDUCT (ELLESMERE CANAL), and DEE AQUEDUCT (ELLESMERE CANAL). It is Plate IV from Vol. II. It is a single sheet, blank on the reverse, and measures approx. 8.5 x 11 inches (21.5 x 27.5 cm), with clean borders for framing. It is not mounted, matted or framed so you are free to display it how you want. It would look great framed as a set with other Aqueduct, Rivers, Canals and Harbours prints in our range. Considering its age, this 19th Century print is in excellent condition, on well-preserved paper. The beautifully detailed design is still bright, and the paper has a lovely satin feel. There is tonal aging (to be expected from antique prints and only adds to their charm) otherwise it is very clean with no obvious defects to mention. These fascinating, antique prints make unique, original gifts and wonderful additions to your home or office décor. Click the ADD TO CART button, then take a look at our range of maps and prints on offer – you could even start your own exclusive collection! We take great care to make sure our prints reach you in perfect order by enclosing them in protective plastic sleeves and shipping them flat in rigid mailers. The shipping amount is for the first print - there is no additional shipping cost for orders of multiple prints, and we ship worldwide within one business day of receiving cleared funds. All prints, whether antique, vintage or modern should be protected from exposure to direct sunlight. Thanks for visiting our store and please stop by again soon as we’ll be adding to it regularly.
