Fascinating original old, vintage, antique 18th century copper engraved print.
The almost folk-art 18th century style and manner of visual presentation is entirely unique to this time.
An appealing old printed image which could readily be collected on its own merits, displayed or given as a present.
In Average, typical, acceptable, near Good or better antiquarian condition; some moderate scattered old staining, offsetting or spotting- still, mostly clean overall, age dustiness or light typical surface wear, and some light to moderate scattered age spotting or foxing as you can see from the scan, overall the image remains attractive --
