Maynz.

(Germany- city on Rhine)

Issued c.1830-40, Europe. Etched by Sparli.

Beautiful near miniature antique printed image (appears to be an etching) with wonderful early hand color heightened with gum arabic. A gem of a view, very pleasing visually, utterly superior visual quality almost resembling an original work of art.

The sense of light is wonderful, the costumes of the foreground figures vibrant. A sweeping panoramic harbor view.

Paper and image remains clean and well preserved with a fine patina and visual appeal.
