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.

This early 19th-century Georgian framed print presents a monochrome lithograph of the interior of Lyme Regis Church in Dorset, set behind a glazed screen. The piece is constructed with paper, wood, and gold leaf, showcasing a warm brown mahogany veneer frame adorned with mitred corners and a narrow gilded slip. The composition includes printed text at the bottom detailing the dedication to the Reverend F.P. Hodges, DD, alongside visible signs of age including slight losses to the wood veneer along the outer border. The complete artwork measures 50 cm high by 45 cm wide. In a contemporary home, this framed historical print is suited for display on a narrow wall space within a gentleman's library, hallway, or study. The neutral tones of the black-and-white church interior blend with traditional interior schemes, while the wooden frame and inner gold border complement period architectural details. The piece hangs securely using standard wall fixtures appropriate for framed paper items of this scale.

FAQs

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.
