Lizard Scaly Skin Lush Habitat 1859 scarce great old color print

untitled

(Lizard, Scaly Skin)

Issued 1859, Philadelphia, by Ashmead

Lovely and very uncommon old vintage antique print.

Printed in the mid-19th century on paper which is gently age toned and shows light signs of age but  remains sound, clean & well preserved.

A beautiful early printed color image which is not often seen, and is worthy of display.

In Good+ to near VG or better condition; normal uniform minor age toning to sheet as typical, and small minor age spotting, the surface of the sheet should be clearly visible in the scan. Overall the printed image is clean, well preserved and very attractive.

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 relatively little-known and fascinating old/ vintage/ antique printed image which any collector, dealer, institution or person of artistic taste would be happy to own and display.

Sheet measures c.  9 7/8" H x  12 1/2" W.

Printed area measures c. 6 3/4" H x  9 1/2" W
