About the Work
This fine steel engraving is by William Henry Bartlett, one of the most collected view-artists of the 19th century, engraved by H. Jorden – most likely from the celebrated volume 'Switzerland Illustrated'. The romantic view of the Château de Lausanne with figures in traditional costume and a lively old-town scene makes it a genuine eye-catcher. The documented provenance from Galerie beim Rathaus in Zug adds extra collector appeal.
Collector Interest
Bartlett is a household name among print collectors in the UK, USA and Japan – his Swiss and Middle-Eastern views trade internationally. A romantic Alpine castle scene, a modest format perfect for gallery walls, and clear Swiss gallery provenance make this an easy, decorative and giftable acquisition for buyers who love European travel-romance imagery.
Provenance
Erworben über die Galerie beim Rathaus (Elfi Bolli, Fischmarkt 11, CH-6300 Zug), rückseitig doppelt etikettiert als 'Original Stich 19. Jh.'. Ein klassischer Bartlett-Stahlstich der Schweizer Romantik, gerahmt mit Goldleiste und feinem Gold-Passepartout – aus einer Zuger Privatsammlung.
