165118 - Henry Gastineau - Llawhaden Castle (mis-titled as Ingestrie) 1835.

Henry Gastineau - Llawhaden Castle (mis-titled as Ingestrie) 1835. This antique steel-plate engraving shows Llawhaden Castle in Pembrokeshire, Wales, despite being mis-labelled at the bottom as Ingestrie. The text printed at the bottom indicates that it was drawn and engraved for Dugdale's England and Wales Delineated (published around 1835–1845). During the production of this topographical work, a printing error occurred where the engraving of the Welsh gatehouse was paired with the caption for Ingestre (a village in Staffordshire, England). The original illustration was drawn by the famous topographical artist Henry Gastineau (1791–1876). The print depicts the impressive ruined gatehouse of Llawhaden Castle. In the foreground, it includes a classic pastoral scene featuring a woman milking a white cow next to a haystack. Because of the publishing mistake, this particular edition is highly desirable among collectors of antique topographical prints. Size: 27cm x 19cm The print is in excellent condition - please inspect the image carefully for any occasional age related marks.
