A charming set of four late 18th-century stipple engravings by the London engraver and publisher, Charles Taylor (1756-1823), after designs by Samuel Shelley, including The Lament, Plutus, Lavinia, and Health.
Dating 1787-1789, these works belong to Taylor’s series of literary and allegorical prints, celebrated for their refined oval compositions and softly rendered figures.
The engravings are presented individually in antique-style frames, making them especially lovely displayed together. Their age, delicate imagery, and warm character make them suitable for any space with an appreciation for old-world charm.
