Original color etching titled Borda Church and Market Place, Tasco by A. F. Mettel. This architectural and landscape work depicts the historic Borda Church and surrounding marketplace in Tasco, Mexico, with the church’s twin towers rising above the village plaza. Rendered in warm, earthy tones, the composition reflects Mettel’s detailed approach to architectural subjects and historic sites. The work is accompanied by its original descriptive backing, which provides historical context regarding the Borda Church, its construction, and cultural significance. Presented matted and framed, this piece offers both visual appeal and historical interest, making it suitable for collectors of travel, architectural, or Mexican-themed works on paper.
