Copperplate Engravings
Antique copperplate engravings
Copperplate engraving, worked with the burin directly into a copper plate, is the technique behind the largest part of our stock, spanning 1560 to 1940. It includes topographical views by Pieter van der Aa, satirical plates by John Goldar, religious subjects by Vicente Capilla and Flaxman's outline illustrations for the Iliad.
The category suits collectors focused on this classic intaglio technique across any subject, period or country. Every engraving is an original period impression, with a technical description and exact measurements.
