Lovely and very uncommon old vintage hand color aquatint print. Acquired loose, originally issued within a now rare color plate book.

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

Print remains overall clean & sound but with signs of handling which are visible within the scan. Old prints often display small minor repairs on the back, could have uneven blank margins, might have extraneous fold-lines or other small minor age flaws which do not detract from the visual appeal or value. Condition is carefully considered in arriving at our price.

Great early color print entirely worthy of hanging for display.

A humorous depiction captured in a manner entirely unique to this era.
