This black and white lithograph, titled "Valdivia" takes us back in time to the enchanting landscapes of Chile. Engraved by H. Wander-Burch in 1836, this print is a window into the rich history of this South American nation. The scene depicted showcases the bustling port town of Valdivia, nestled along the banks of a serene river.

This print serves as both a historical document and a work of art that transports us back in time. Displayed at London's British Museum, this lithograph offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate not only Gay's talent but also Chilean culture and heritage. It reminds us how art can transcend time and space by capturing moments from different corners of our world.
