Original D.Y. Cameron etching.
Particularly fine signed proof impression, printed with considerable plate tone and under unusually heavy pressure in order to bring out every detail of the etched plate. D.Y. Cameron’s early etchings of Stirling are now very rare prints indeed.
The famous unicorn of Broad Street, Stirling, is the only remaining part of the original Market Cross of Stirling, the top of which it once crowned. This beautifully wrought design, with its background of an eighteenth century dwelling, is a superb example of David Young Cameron’s fine architectural draftsmanship of the buildings of his native Scotland
On cream laid paper, with full margins. Platemark weak at lower left due to the unusually heavy pressure with which this particularly fine proof was printed; otherwise very good condition. |
