Kohl engraved

Issued 1792, Wien (Vienna), Austria by Sebastian Hartl for the rare "Die Welt in Bildern"...

Fine and very uncommon antique copper engraved print. With strong and distinctive early hand color. Nice old use of color to depict fire, firemen and rescuers as outline shadows in the background.

A picture is worth a thousand words. The photos are a major part of the item description. Please examine them closely, as what you see is what we will send you. [note: we grade conservatively and always seek to disclose any noteworthy flaws.].

Print remains overall clean & sound, light signs of age typical to all old sheets of printed paper. The scan provided should capture the appearance better than words.

Old prints often display small minor repairs on the back, could have uneven blank margins, might have extraneous fold-lines or other small minor age flaws which do not detract from the visual appeal or value. Condition is carefully considered in arriving at our price.

Great old print entirely worthy of hanging for display.

A visual depiction captured in a manner entirely unique to this era.
