CHAPUY (Nicolas Marie Joseph) - APPERT (Arnaud)
General view of London. View taken from Westminster Abbey. Paris, Chardon, undated [c. 1850].
Dimensions: 84 x 52 cm. Based on a work by CHAPUIS, retouched by Gusnu, engraved by Arnaud APPERT. Overall dimensions: 105 x 77 cm. Old water stain marks on the edges; the colours of the engraving are very vivid.
An extremely rare and very beautiful colour view (black-and-white versions are occasionally found), in a bird’s-eye view by Appert, from the top of the Palace of Westminster. ‘Chapuis’ is probably a misspelling of Chapuy, referring to the topographical artist Nicolas Marie Joseph Chapuy. The print was part of a series of bird’s-eye-view prints of major European cities.
