I am selling this magnificent and large etching showing a
harbour scene in the port of Marseille with the Hôtel de Ville built in the mid-1600s
in the distance—it’s the building right-of-centre with a façade of two
triangular pediments and the only building in this scene with a grand doorway—for
AU$293 in total (currently US$214.72/EUR181.69/GBP155.23 at the time of posting
this listing) including postage and handling to anywhere in the world (but not,
of course, any import duties/taxes imposed by some countries).
If you are interested in purchasing this historically
important and very beautiful 19th century harbour scene showing the
Hotel de Ville that houses the offices of Marseille’s mayor and municipal councillors,
please contact me (oz_jim@printsandprinciples.com) and I will send you a PayPal
invoice to make the payment easy.
