Five Varieties of the Human Race 1835 Bradford costume print ethnic view

The Five Varieties of the Human Race.

(Ethnography, Races of the World, Ethnic Costume, Ethnic Prints, Racism).

Issued 1835, Boston by Bradford for his "Atlas of Universal Geography".

An increasingly uncommon early 19th century American produced and engraved print with original hand color.

Bradford prints of this decade are characterized by an almost primitive engraving style, unique to this era of cartographic production in America.

Nice looking example, moderate old damp staining to sheet which is easy to forgive visually, pleasing age patina, any minor age flaws easy to overlook or forgive.

Sheet Measures c. 9 3/4" H x 12 3/4" W.

Engraved Area Measures c. 7 3/4" H x 9 3/4" W.
