London - London CHAPUY (Nicolas Marie Joseph) - APPERT (Arnaud) General View of London. View taken from Westminster Abbey. Paris, Chardon, n.d. [c. 1850]. Dimensions: 84 x 52 cm. Based on a work by CHAPUIS, retouched by Gusnu, engraved by Arnaud APPERT. Overall size: 105 x 77 cm. Old water stain along the edges; the colors of the engraving are very vivid. An extremely rare and beautiful color view (black-and-white versions are occasionally found), rendered in a bird’s-eye view by Appert from the top of the Palace of Westminster. “Chapuis” is likely a misspelling of Chapuy, referring to the topographical artist Nicolas Marie Joseph Chapuy. The print was part of a series of bird’s-eye-view prints of major European cities.
