Octave De Rochebrune Fireplace At The Château De Terre-neuve Engraving Architecture Etching XIX

Cheminée del'atelier au Château de Terre-Neuve Vendée
Eau-forte on laid paper by Octave de Rochebrune circa 1876.

Good condition. The work is over 150 years old and, naturally, time has left some slight marks: small tears at the edge of the sheet, a few small stains as well as a slight fold in the paper manufacture, a fairly common phenomenon for this type of work (see photos).

All these small imperfections are only in the white margins; none affect the engraved subject itself.
