Up for sale is a beautifully executed, original graphite pencil drawing of the historic St Nicolas Church in Shoreham-by-Sea, West Sussex, England. Dating back to 1834, this remarkable 192-year-old artwork offers a wonderful glimpse into early Victorian/Late Georgian architectural illustration.
The piece features a distinct, delicate hand and is pencil-signed by the artist (currently illegible) and clearly dated 1834 in the lower margin. St Nicolas Church itself dates back to Norman times, adding an extra layer of historical charm to this authentic period piece.
