This is a 19th-century engraved print titled “Gibraltar from the Sea,” published by The London Printing and Publishing Company. The central image presents a dramatic seascape view of the Rock of Gibraltar, with jagged cliffs rising prominently from the ocean. Several sailing vessels navigate the choppy waters in the foreground, emphasizing maritime activity around this historic location. The engraving is bordered by decorative elements and smaller vignette illustrations that frame the main scene. These additional vignettes depict alternative views of Gibraltar and nearby landmarks, enriching the geographic and artistic context of the composition. The detailed line work and stippling, typical of engravings from this era, capture both the natural grandeur of the rock and the restless movement of the sea. The edges of the paper and the image itself show signs of foxing—common brown spots caused by aging—which adds to the print’s antique character.
