Picturesque Europe With Illustrations On Steel And Wood By The Most Eminent Artists Including Birket Foster

Published by Cassell, Petter, Galpin & Co: London (undated) c1880


Pricing for these series is based on the average asking price for the prized steel plate engravings within each division. Consider the wood engravings and complete topics as a bonus.

Division 17 Contains:
  • 3 Full Page Steel Plates Innspruck (Birket Foster), Ruins Of The Brunnenburg (ET Compton) & Lauffenberg (Birket Foster) along with The Alhambra (H Fenn) (ornamental title).
  • Artists include LJ Wood, Harry Fenn, Birket Foster and E Compton.
  • Full topics include Sweden (full, 10 pages), The Tyrol (full, 28 pages), Gibraltar And Ronda (full, 17 pages), Dresden And The Saxon Switzerland (partial, 17 of 21 pages - other 4 assumed to be in Division 18)
  • Multiple Wood Engravings
This is an interesting series that was published in 20 divisions. Each division contains some full topics/countries with only part of some topics/countries. I can only assume that this was to encourage buyers to purchase ALL 20 divisions to end up with the complete work. For you, this is an opportunity to buy 1 division including the contents as stated above and shown in the photos. We do not have the full 20 division set for sale but we have most of them so please refer our other listings to see what is left.

There are some minor marks, stains etc and the photos shown attempt to highlight this. There are no ownership marks, stamps or inscriptions. Please study photos to understand condition. Happy to provide more photos on request.
