1811 Antique Print; Abbey Gateway, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk after J.A. Repton

Description: On offer: an original (i.e. not a later reproduction) antique print "Abbey Gate-Way (North Side), Bury St Edmunds.", Suffolk. DATE PRINTED: 1811 (dated on print).SIZE: The printed area including titles is approximately 25 x 18 cm (9.75 x 7 inches) plus margins with a blank back (Medium). ARTIST/CARTOGRAPHER/ENGRAVER: Engraved by John Roffe (1769 London, England – 14 December 1850 Upper Holloway, Middlesex, England) from a drawing by J.A. Repton. John Adey Repton (1775–1860) was an English architect born in Norwich. PROVENANCE: This print was published in "The Architectural Antiquities of Great Britain...by John Britton" published by Longman & Co, Paternoster Row and J Taylor High Holborn London. John Britton FSA (1771–1857) was an English antiquary, author and editor. After some slight successes as a writer, a Salisbury publisher commissioned him to compile an account of Wiltshire and, in conjunction with his friend Edward Wedlake Brayley, Britton produced The Beauties of Wiltshire (1801; 2 vols., a third added in 1825), the first of the series The Beauties of England and Wales, nine volumes of which Britton and his friend wrote. Britton was the originator of a new class of literary works. "Before his time", says Digby Wyatt, "popular topography was unknown." In 1805 Britton published the first part of his Architectural Antiquities of Great Britain (9 vols., 1805–1814); and this was followed by Cathedral Antiquities of England. TYPE: Antique copper plate engraving printed on paper. VERSO: There is nothing printed on the reverse side, which is blank. CONDITION: Good; suitable for framing.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Abbey of Bury St Edmunds was once among the richest Benedictine monasteries in England, until the Dissolution of the monasteries in 1539. It is in the town that grew up around it, Bury St Edmunds in the county of Suffolk, England. It was a centre of pilgrimage as the burial place of the Anglo-Saxon martyr-king Saint Edmund, killed by the Great Heathen Army of Danes in 869. The ruins of the abbey church and most other buildings are merely rubble cores, but two very large medieval gatehouses survive, as well as two secondary medieval churches built within the abbey complex.The Abbey Gate which is used to enter the grounds today was begun after the riots of 1327. It was built primarily for defensive purposes. Please explore my ebay shop for more antique prints. Track Page Views With Auctiva's FREE Counter
