Venditore: philismyt-67 ✉️ (728) 100%, Luogo in cui si trova l'oggetto: Stafford, GB, Spedizione verso: WORLDWIDE, Numero oggetto: 155523233843 Plan of River Thames Embankment Scheme London Illustrated London News 1862. Lovely original and rare colour plan of the completed River Thames Embankment (Surrey side) Scheme extracted from the Illustrated London News from August 1862. It was originally engraved by John Dower of Fleet Street, London on August 23rd 1862.  The plan had previously been mounted and framed but the condition of the mount had become marked and damaged and therefore I have carefully removed the plan from the mount, also partly to confirm its authenticity. As shown in the 4th photograph, there is print on the rear of the plan, confirming it as an original page extracted from the Illustrated London News in 1862. For whatever reason, a corner of the plan has been cutaway when originally mounted, but this does not show when properly mounted. There are also some tape marks on the edge of parts of the border where it was attached to the mount. I have left parts of the masking tape used to mount the plan on, to avoid any further damage and these will also not be visible when re-mounted and put in a frame of your choice.  Other than the issues mentioned above, the plan is in very good condition for an item that is over 160 years old, with light marking and wear commensurate with its age and no tears or creasing. The print on the reverse side is slightly visible through the paper, but correctly mounted this will not be obvious and will not distract from the overall fascination of this lovely drawing. Although drawn to highlight the new embankment, the plan illustrates beautifully the development of the city as it was in 1862. It will look superb freshly mounted and framed. Please look carefully at the photographs to ascertain its condition. The plan measures approximately 16" x 11.5" (400 mm x 270 mm), including borders. Please note: I also have for sale an article/plan published in 1861 by the same newspaper featuring the original scheme to provide the Thames embankment (subject to availability). This provides a more detailed plan of the proposed scheme and provides a direct comparison between the proposed and completed schemes. Please take at look in my shop for availability, along with other my other vintage and antique plans and adverts. Please note; this is a page carefully retrieved from a dis-bound and no longer usable antique newspaper. It is original, but not a complete newspaper.  Posting and Packaging:  Due to large size of the page it will be c arefully packaged in a sturdy tube and posted by Royal Mail (Special delivery). Please feel free to ask any questions and contact me if there are any issues with the item. Every effort will be made to resolve any problems. Thanks for looking.
