Inverary Pier Drawn and Engraved by J. M. W. Turner
Joseph Mallord William Turner (British, London 1775–1851 London)
The print describes a Scottish loch bordered by mountains with the foreground enlivened by boats and fishermen near a pier, a floating buoy, and the fluke of a submerged anchor piercing the water. Despite the engraved title, the image does not represent Loch Fyne, but the smaller adjacent Loch Shira.
An interesting fact is that the original 1811 mezzotints have an indented \"M\" in the upper margin indicating Turner\'s category of Marine landscape. Joseph Mallord William Turner RA, known as J. M. W. Turner and contemporaneously as William Turner, was an English Romantic painter, print-maker and watercolorist, known for his expressive colorization, imaginative landscapes and turbulent, often violent marine paintings

The Fine Print

International buyers are responsible for all import fees and taxes. Shipping costs: My shipping costs are calculated on three factors - getting your item to you as quickly as possible, as cost effectively as possible, and as safely as possible. I pride myself in providing optimal protection. I use First Class or Priority Mail on most small items; Parcel Post on larger items; and Media Mail on books and magazines. You may request expedited shipment if you are willing to pay costs. P/H is combined on multiple prints mailed at the same time. Please make your purchases from my sales or store. I will send a combined invoice reflecting your savings. The Nature of Prints & Engravings: It was not until the 20th century that prints were commonly produced for the print itself. Prior to this, virtually all prints (and engravings) were produced as illustrations to be included in a manuscript, book, newspaper, or pamphlet. Therefore, a vast majority of original prints have been over the years removed from these original sources. Prints are produced using many different techniques: relief printing (woodcut & wood engraving), intaglio printing (steel & copper plate engraving, drypoint, aquatint, etc), and planographic printing (lithography, serigraphy, inkjet, laser, etc.). While the commercial value of a print depends on such factors as age, rarity, and condition, the real value of a print is its tie to its history and/or its esthetic beauty.
