A Rare Early 19th Century Lithograph of the Interior of Lyme Regis Church, Dorset Possibly a One Off

19th century
Description

A rare and good sized early 19th century lithograph in its original mahogany veneer frame dating to around 1840. The inscription at the bottom reads: "Interior of Lyme Regis church, Dorset. To the Revd F P Hodges, DD and the inhabitants and visitors of Lyme Regis and its neighbourhood this plate is respectfully inscribed by their much obliged and humble servant, The Publisher". The lithograph is from an original sketch signed by the artist Harry Burrard Farnall (1802 -1883), first Mayor of Lyme Regis, inspector of the Poor Laws and Colonel of 1st Kent Volunteers. He, like the vicar to which the lithograph is inscribed, was an Oxford man have attended Brasenose.

The vicar, Frederic Parry Hodge was vicar of the parish for 47 years (1833-1880).

The inscription suggests that this particular example may have be a unique example, perhaps meant only for the church.

Slight loss to the veneer in places.

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Lithography is a planographic printing technique developed in the late 18th century, utilizing drawn images on smooth limestone plates treated with chemicals to attract oil-based inks for reproduction on paper.

Prints from this era were produced using woven rag paper printed with carbon or oil inks, commonly housed in solid timber frames such as mahogany or rosewood with hand-gilded slips.

Authentic period lithographs feature soft tonal gradients without digital halftone dots, age-appropriate paper oxidation or foxing, and crisp impression details alongside printed publisher inscriptions in the lower margin.

Monochrome architectural prints function well as part of a gallery wall arrangement, hung in entryways, or positioned above low-profile sideboards to add historical interest and graphic contrast.

To preserve paper prints, keep them out of direct sunlight and high-humidity areas, ensure acid-free mounting materials are used, and fit UV-protective glass inside the frame to prevent discolouration.
