Fine and very uncommon original antique engraved print.

In Good+ to near VG [or better] condition: displays normal light minor age toning as typical, light scattered spotting and some foxing; overall the image remains clean and very attractive--- please inspect visual scan closely and note the zoom feature which allows for close inspection [note: we grade very conservatively and always seek to disclose any noteworthy flaws].

Great image entirely worthy of an album or hanging for display. A depiction captured in a manner entirely unique to this era.

The printed area remains visually pleasing, a nice impression of an interesting historic cultural image.
