Stadler Acquire a masterwork of Georgian-era topography with this original 1793 hand-colored aquatint etching, titled "Court Garden and Great Marlow." This rare print was published by the esteemed London firm J. & J. Boydell for their monumental series, "An History of the River Thames." It offers a serene 18th-century view of the Thames at Great Marlow, Buckinghamshire, featuring the historic Court Garden estate and the famous wooden bridge of 1789.
