The backing sheet is mostly cut away, allowing the print sheet to be completely examined front and back.

Slight damage lower left corner (corner curiously re-attached), slight 3” crease/ thin surface split from bottom middle edge.

Pictures capture condition better than words, please review them carefully.

Nice copper engraved portrait, over 300 years old, so not new but no problem or issues aside from normal visible signs of handling, time and age common to most surviving paper images of this era.

Backing sheet measures c. 13 5/8" H x 8 5/8" W.

Engraved Image area c. 11 1/4" x 7 1/4".
