Lithograph by Day & Haghe

Scarce original antique lithograph print.

Printed in the mid-19th century on paper which has age toned as always, but which remains sound & well preserved.

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

A lovely artistic image worthy of display which is not often seen.

In Fair or better condition, normal age toning to sheet as typical, as well as a some light age staining or foxing in the margins, light scattered staining, and some small tears in the printed area which have been repaired on verso and are now easy to miss or overlook visually, overall the image displays well and is still very attractive

A little known and fine mining industry/ geological image which any collector, dealer, institution or person of artistic taste would be happy to own.
