About the Item
Antique Engraving of Montevideo, Harbor and City View, 1867
Engraving titled Montevideo, published in 1867. This finely detailed scene presents a sweeping view of the Uruguayan capital from the water, highlighting the bustling port and the city rising on the hill in the background. The skyline is punctuated by the cathedral and surrounding colonial architecture, giving a sense of Montevideo’s prominence as a strategic and commercial hub on the Río de la Plata.
In the foreground, ships under sail and steam navigate the harbor, emphasizing the importance of maritime trade in the 19th century. The combination of detailed architectural rendering and atmospheric skies reflects the engraver’s artistry, offering a vivid impression of Montevideo as seen by European audiences of the time.
Engraved by Ed. Willmann after a drawing by Lebreton, and printed in Paris by Ch. Chardon, this plate forms part of a scarce illustrated series documenting South American cities and landscapes during a transformative era.
Condition: Good, with foxing and toning around the margins, consistent with age. The printed image remains clear and finely detailed. Blank verso. Please review the image carefully.
