About the Item

Boston State House Engraving – Antique View from c. 1850 Description: This antique engraving presents a stately view of the Boston State House, a symbol of American democracy and a landmark of Boston’s architectural heritage. Published by J. F. Tallis in London, Edinburgh, and Dublin around 1850, this print captures the elegant proportions and grandeur of the State House as it stood in the mid-19th century. The engraving shows the iconic golden dome—an enduring symbol of Boston—atop the dignified Federal-style building, framed by columns and arched windows. The foreground reveals the well-kept grounds and iron fence, with figures of Bostonians going about their daily lives, evoking the bustling energy of the city in that era. Surrounding the main image is a beautifully intricate border of floral and fruit motifs, adding a decorative flourish that enhances the overall historic character of the engraving. This scene was likely part of *The History of the United States of America* by John Howard Hinton, a popular work that documented the nation’s growth through finely engraved illustrations. Collectors, historians, and architecture enthusiasts will appreciate this piece not only for its artistic merit but also for the way it preserves a key moment in Boston’s civic history. Condition Report: This engraving is in good condition, with light foxing and gentle toning at the edges. The engraved lines remain crisp and clear, with no significant tears or repairs. Tips for Framing: For a refined and classic presentation, choose a dark wood or walnut frame with an off-white or antique cream matting. This will highlight the rich detail of the engraving and create a distinguished display that complements the historic significance of this elegant Boston landmark.
