An attractive set of nine original early 19th‑century copper‑engraved book plates, each a generous 264 x 212 mm sheet size, taken from a contemporary scientific or technical work of the Georgian–Regency period. These engravings capture the era’s fascination with engineering, architecture and experimental apparatus, with finely detailed line work that rewards close inspection.
 
Printed on good quality wove paper with the soft toning, some marks and occasional edge nicks expected of genuine plates over 200 years old, they remain clean and bright with strong impressions ideal for mounting and framing. Their larger format makes far more impact on the wall than the usual octavo plates and allows the engraver’s draughtsmanship to shine.
Perfect for a study, office or library, this coordinated group would suit collectors of early technology and architecture, interior designers seeking authentic period artwork, or print‑sellers looking for stock ready to frame and retail individually at a healthy margin. A characterful slice of Regency visual culture, offered here as a complete, matching group rather than broken up.
