Long Description
Frame size is about 13x11 and mat opening is about 9.5x7. From left to right at bottom of etching it reads " P. Brannon del. et sculp. " then " BONCHURCH, I.W. " then " Pub.d by G. Brannon, Wotton, May 15, 1843 ". Some yellowing/browning but not bad. There is a bubble/rip? on top left of etching and frame looks old and not reframed as the backing is mostly intact. Possible original wire on back as well. All I was able to find out is that George Brannon lived from 1784-1860. I also learned that del et sculp means printer and engraver. I believe the P. Brannon is Phillip. Bonchurch does exist today in W.I. England, I added a photo of it.
History
I know nothing about this etchings background other than the items at this thrift shop mostly come from the surrounding cities which are very expensive to live in including the city of Palos Verdes Estates, Ca.
