Large Engraving. Approx 17 x 12 inches (engraved area.) Hand coloured. Mounted & framed behind glass. Frame Size 26 x20 inches In very good condition. Lovely vivid colouring. Two as published Centre creases, some light tanning. Very decorative picture with many fine ladies and gentlemen enjoying a stroll along the river and many animals grazing in the meadows in the foreground, a post chaise coming along down the main- street ? interesting to see how few houses were there ? nowadays everything is built up right up to the bridge. In the center at the top is the armorial coat of arms of Dorchester. THIS view was published in the first edition of Hutchin?s History of Dorsetshire in 1774. It only ever was published again in the second edition of this work (but this 2nd. Edition is extremely scarce). ?To Mr Samuel Gould, This Plate, exhibiting a North East View of the Town of Dorchester, & of the Village of Forthington, Engraved at his Expense, is inscribed by his humble servant, The Author.?.
