Bidspirit auction | A Collection of Metallic Etching
A Collection of Metallic Etching Plates - A collection of approximately fifteen metallic plates, likely made of aluminum or a similar light-colored alloy, each featuring etched or engraved designs. The imagery is diverse, encompassing a large architectural structure resembling a cathedral, a windmill, stylized palm trees, mushrooms, abstract figures including one with spiky hair and another that is bat-like, and various other landscapes or scenes. Visible markings include two white stickers: one reads ”Shelbys Auctioneers Ltd 93,” and another ”8382 D.”; faint, partially legible alphanumeric text (possibly ”CH312”) is also discernible on a smaller plate in the upper right. The overall style is varied, and the precise period is indeterminate.
