c.1756 Architectural Elevations of Bridges – Georgian Bridge Prints by Isaac Ware (Set of Two)
Georgian Engineering Elegance for Refined Interiors
Bring the measured beauty of 18th-century Georgian engineering into your space with this striking pair of architectural prints. Revived from original 1750s copper-plate engravings by master architect Isaac Ware—designer of the celebrated bridge at Wilton House—these elongated studies showcase the precision and proportion of historic British bridge design.
Museum-Grade Digital Restoration
Digitally restored in our Lancashire studio, each engraving has been carefully refined to reveal every voussoir, keystone, and rusticated pier in crisp detail. Blemishes have been removed and tonal depth enhanced, ensuring the artwork remains faithful to the original while perfectly suited to contemporary interiors.
A Dramatic Vertical Statement
The elegant 70cm vertical format draws the eye upward, creating a sense of height and architectural drama. Hung side by side or used to book-end a window or doorway, these prints form a perfectly balanced and commanding display.
Crafted the British Way
