19th century
For Sale by Original Retro
Description

19th c. Colonial-American Era Pen & Ink Drawing 'The News-Sheet'

This is a very interesting pen & ink drawing depicting a scene from the Colonial-American Era in the 19th c.

The scene is of a pub front depicting a town crier reading out a news-sheet to the pub guests, who are typically dressed for the time i.e. sailor, farmers and possible a Quaker (?).

The sailor and the Quaker (?) smoking a typical period shaped pipe, while the Quaker (?) sits on a three legged spindle chair.

The pub is called 'Kings Head' (King George III).

At the bottom middle of the water colour in a scroll it says 'The News-Sheet' sadly no artist name has been found.

Medium: Pen & Ink on Paper

Measurement Drawing (visible): approx. 26 cm x 36 cm.

Measurement Frame: 42 cm x 53 cm.

The photos are taken on a angle to avoid reflection in the glass.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

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.

FAQs

Pen and ink drawings from the 19th century utilise dip pens or quills to apply liquid pigment onto paper, frequently combined with watercolour washes to capture detailed narrative and genre scenes.

These artworks generally feature carbon or iron gall ink applied to hand-made rag paper or early woven cellulose paper, typically presented under glass in carved wooden or gesso frames.

Authentic pieces exhibit natural signs of ageing such as subtle foxing or toning of the paper, variations in ink density caused by hand-nib pressure, and period-correct framing technique.

Position the artwork within a curated gallery wall alongside contrasting modern prints, or mount it individually above dark wood furniture to create a focal point in a study or hallway.

Display the artwork away from direct sunlight and high humidity, ensuring it is mounted using acid-free materials and UV-filtering glass to prevent discolouration and fading.
