PRINT DESCRIPTION:

The symbol of the City of Baltimore, the Battle Monument stands on Calvert Street at Fayette Street. Designed by Maximilian Godefroy and completed in 1825, the Battle Monument honors the thirty-nine men who died in the Battle of Baltimore, when the British were defeated at North Point and Fort McHenry on September 12, 1814. The base and column of the monument are composed of Baltimore County marble; the sculptures of Lady Baltimore and the four griffins were carved from Italian marble by Antonio Capellano. The Monuments Commission contributed toward the Baltimore City-sponsored project of cleaning and repointing the monument, which was rededicated on Defenders\' Day, 1997.

Please note: the terms used in our sales for engraving, etching, lithograph, plate, photogravure etc. are ALL prints on paper, and NOT blocks of steel or wood or any other material. “ENGRAVINGS”, the term commonly used for these paper prints, were the most common method in the 1700s and 1800s for illustrating old books, and these paper prints or “engravings” were created by the intaglio process of etching the negative of the image into a block of steel, copper, wood etc, and then when inked and pressed onto paper, a print image was created. These prints or engravings were usually inserted into books, although many were also printed and issued as loose stand alone lithographs. They often had a tissue guard or onion skin frontis to protect them from transferring their ink to the opposite page and were usually on much thicker quality woven rag stock paper than the regular prints. So this sale is for an antique paper print(s), probably from an old book, of very high quality and usually on very thick rag stock paper.
