Entrance to the Grand Canal

(Ships on the Water)

Art by E. W. Cooke

Engraved by C. Cousen

Printed c.1880, Phila by George Barrie

Beautifully engraved original antique folio print. Well printed on large oversized heavy paper, the fine engraving technique with great visual appeal.

Printed on quality heavy period paper, approaching flexible cardboard thickness,  as issued which shows typical gentle signs of age, perhaps some minor light spotting or foxing, but retains its inherent structural flexibility and soundness.

An appealing framable antique engraved image.

In Very Good or better antiquarian condition, mostly clean overall, light minor age dustiness or light surface wear, primarily in the blank margins, overall the image is quite clean and very attractive. It is also nicely inked and pulled from the plate-- please inspect enlargeable photo closely, any noteworthy flaws to the printed surface area should be noticeable within picture provided.

[ note: We grade very conservatively and always seek to disclose any noteworthy flaws. We are doing our best to show & describe this item so you are happy when it arrives ].

Despite any small age flaws, the printed area remains visually pleasing, and the print is well preserved.

Overall a nice impression of an original and interesting antique printed image that any collector, curator or institution would be happy to own or display.
