1790 Antique Print: Brodie Castle, Moray, Scotland after Grose

Description: On offer: an original (i.e. not a later reproduction) scarce antique print "Brodie Castle.", Moray, Scotland. DATE PRINTED: c.1797. The view was engraved in 1790 (as noted on the engraving) and printed a few years later. SIZE: The printed area is approximately 18.5 x 14 cm (7.25 x 5.5 inches) plus margins with a blank back (medium). ARTIST/CARTOGRAPHER/ENGRAVER: Engraved by Thomas Vivares from a drawing by Francis Grose. Published by Samuel Hooper, Ludgate Hill, London. PROVENANCE: This print was published in "The Antiquities of Scotland", by Francis Grose. Francis Grose (1731–1791) was an antiquary and lexicographer, of Swiss extraction. He published Antiquities of England and Wales (1773–87), which was well received, and thereafter, in 1789, set out on an antiquarian tour through Scotland, the fruit of which was Antiquity of Scotland (1789–91). He afterwards undertook a similar expedition to Ireland, but died suddenly at Dublin. Before his death he issued volume 1 and his nephew Daniel and a Dr. Edward Ledwich, who had already published a book on Irish antiquities, completed volume 2 shortly afterwards. TYPE: Antique copper block engraving printed on paper. VERSO: There is nothing printed on the reverse side which is blank. CONDITION: Good; suitable for framing. Please check the scan for any blemishes prior to making your purchase. Virtually all antiquarian paper is subject to some normal aging due to use and time which is not significant unless otherwise stated. AUTHENTICITY: This is an authentic antique print, published at the date stated above. I do not offer reproductions. It is not a modern copy. The term 'original' when applied to a print means that it was printed at the first or original date of publication; it does not imply that the item is unique. RETURNS POLICY: I offer a no questions returns policy. All I ask is that you pay return shipping and mail back to me in original condition. POSTAGE / SHIPPING COSTS: I only charge postage for the first print ordered. There is no additional postage charge if you order more than one print. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Brodie Castle is a well-preserved Z-plan tower house located about 3.5 miles (5.5 kilometres) west of Forres, in Moray, Scotland. The castle is a Category A listed building, and the grounds are included in the Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes in Scotland. The original Z-plan tower house was completed in 1567 by Clan Brodie and was partially burned by fire in 1645 by Lewis Gordon of Clan Gordon, the 3rd Marquis of Huntly. In 1824, architect William Burn was commissioned to convert it into a mansion house in the Scots Baronial style, but these additions were only partially completed and were later remodelled by James Wylson (c. 1845). It is widely accepted that the family has been associated with the land on which the castle stands since around 1160, when it is believed that King Malcolm IV gave the land to the family. Ninian Brodie of Brodie, the castle's last resident member of the family, died in 2003. One wing of the castle is available for visitors to hire as holiday accommodation.
