I specialise in affordable original artworks - mainly traditional watercolours and oil paintings but I also have a range of contemporary artworks including limited edition lithographic prints. I also stock a limited selection of antiques and collectables, including treen, ceramics and glass. I have now opened a shop in Wallingford (OX100BU) between Reading and Oxford, but I also trade online. My website, www.artandstuffgallery.com has a gallery section with several mini-galleries where my items are displayed, including more contemporary items not shown on LoveAntiques.

Description
A very attractive engraving of Linlithgow Palace, in the mid 18th century, before it was destroyed by fire in 1746. It remains as a ruin to this day. Linlithgow means "the loch in a damp hollow" and was the birthplace of Mary, Queen of Scots in 1542. This engraving was first published in 1693 by John Slezer in "Theatrum Scotiae" but this is probably from a later edition in the early 1740s, as it refers to publisher Thomas Millward (fl ca. 1741) and also to Sir James Cunnyngham of Milncraig, Baronet, who succeeded to the Baronetcy in 1708 and died 1747.
