This finely detailed original etching by George Cuit (British, 1779–c.1840), titled The Abbey Gate, City of Chester, dates to 1810, offers a rare and atmospheric glimpse into early 19th-century Chester. Known for his topographical precision and romantic sensibility, Cuit captures the medieval gatehouse with remarkable architectural fidelity and a lively sense of place.
The composition, in its original frame, features the arched entrance to the Abbey precinct, framed by weathered stone and half-timbered buildings. Figures with carts and animals animate the scene, with a lady looking down from the window, bringing daily life into focus amid the grandeur of the Gothic ruins. The etched inscription below the image reads:
"The Abbey Gate, City of Chester / Drawn & Etched by Geo. Cuit 1810"
Cuit was well known for his topographical road maps. This work exemplifies Cuit’s ability to combine historical reverence with narrative detail, making it a valuable piece for collectors of British architectural views and early etching.
Inner image frame size only: 10.5 x 10.5 in
Can be accompanied by 2 other similar Etchings by same Artist.
