J. Stuart & N. Revett 1751 Engraving "View Of The Tower Of The Winds And The Acropolis In Ottoman Athens"

Extremely rare, quite old antique (printed in 1751 and reprinted through 1816) engraving from the book The Antiquities of Athens by James Stuart and Nicholas Revett depicting "The View of the Tower of the Winds and The Acropolis in Ottoman Athens". This is framed and matted with a certificate of authenticity on the verso from an antique print seller in Athens, Greece guaranteeing the print is older than 175 years and is hand-noted "purchased 5/3/84". Beyond that, I have no provenance but I do believe this to be an original engraving from the book The Antiquities of Athens published in 1808.

Notes: Piece shows foxing and is need of careful cleaning outside of its frame. I have not removed this piece from the frame.

Consistent with age and use.
