Vertical & Horizontal Windmills Intricate Machine c.1820 antique engraved print

Windmill

(Captain Hooper's Horizontal Windmill, Intricate Machinery, Blades)

Issued c.1820, Philadelphia

Engraved by H. Anderson

Early American original antique engraved print.

Engraved and printed in the early 19th century, the paper has age toned, displays some noticeable age spotting and foxing as clearly visible within the scan. This almost 200 year old aging process gives the engraving a visual quality unlike anything modern and this is part of the appeal of original old prints like this.

A scarce charming historic image which is perfect for display.

The zoomable image is a major part of the item description. A picture is worth a thousand words. 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 fascinating and uncommon antique printed image which any collector, dealer, institution or person of artistic taste would be happy to own and display.
