Historical Engraving of the Sheldon Theatre
This is an antique engraving depicting the Sheldon Theatre at Oxford University, created by Pieter van der Aa in 1727. The engraving showcases the architectural details of the theatre, a significant landmark within the university. Van der Aa was a Dutch cartographer, engraver, and publisher known for his detailed and accurate depictions of cities, buildings, and landscapes, and this print exemplifies his skill in capturing architectural subjects.
Condition and Collectibility
The engraving shows signs of age and wear consistent with its age, including some foxing and minor imperfections to the paper. Despite this, the print remains a visually striking and historically significant piece. This engraving would be of interest to collectors of antique prints, topographical views, or those with an interest in the history of Oxford University and 18th-century architecture.
