Cape Horn.
(South America, Chile, Tierra del Fuego, Cape Horn, Sinking Ship, Shipwreck, Sailors, Lifeboats).
Issued 1852, New York by Hermann J. Meyer.
Beautiful mid-19th century engraved view print, with atmospheric artistic hand color. A superior visual example thus, surely a very early printed view relating to this south African country.
Nice looking example, pleasing age patina, any minor age flaws easy to overlook or forgive.
