Description

A trio of decorative and academic items comprising an ornate gilt mirror, a framed landscape print, and a large-format geographical atlas. The print, which appears to be a photomechanical reproduction such as a giclée or offset lithograph, depicts a bird of prey perched on a rocky outcrop within an arid, mountainous landscape. The work is executed in a soft palette mimicking watercolour and is signed in the lower right Edward followed by a surname that is not clearly legible, dated 88. The print is presented within a cream-coloured mat and a simple molded gilt frame.

The wall mirror features a rectangular plate housed in a heavily decorated gilt frame with scrolled and shell-like rococo-style motifs.

The third item is a Pergamon World Atlas, shown open to thematic maps of North America. These maps utilize colour-coded keys to display demographic and climatological data. The volume is significant in size and displays various geographical charts across its pages.
