★★★★★ Instant talking point
“I bought one of Room Four's antique anatomical prints for my study and it's become the first thing visitors notice. The detail is incredible, the print quality is razor-sharp, and it has that perfect blend of science, history and art. It looks like something you'd find in a private medical library.”

★★★★★ Exactly the dark-academic look I wanted
“I've spent years trying to find vintage anatomy artwork that doesn't look cheap or overproduced. Room Four absolutely nailed it. The print feels authentic, beautifully reproduced, and gives the room that museum-meets-curiosity-cabinet atmosphere I was after.”

• Victorian engraved portrait of Francis Grose F.S.A.
• Published by Maclure & Co., Glasgow
• Mid‑19th‑century impression
• Crisp linework and strong tonal shading
• Suitable for framing; ideal for antiquarian or literary collections
A finely engraved Victorian portrait of Francis Grose F.S.A. (1731–1791), the celebrated English antiquary, illustrator, and lexicographer. Grose is best known for The Antiquities of England and Wales and A Classical Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue, as well as his close association with Robert Burns, who composed a poem in his honour.
This mid‑19th‑century impression was published by Maclure & Co., Glasgow, one of the leading Victorian lithographic and engraving houses. The portrait shows Grose seated in a three‑quarter pose, hand tucked into his waistcoat — a characteristic 18th‑century gesture — rendered with crisp linework and rich tonal shading typical of steel‑plate engraving.
A strong example of Victorian antiquarian portraiture, appealing to collectors of early archaeology, lexicography, Scottish literary history, and 19th‑century printmaking.
