(image of a book)
Issued c.18, NY
Nice original antique engraved print which includes a depiction of a book.
A fascinating manner of pictorially representing this subject, unique to this era.
In Good condition: sheet age toned, some old age spotting which is visible in scan, overall the image remains attractive. Any age flaws or defects may hopefully be clearly seen in the scan- please zoom in to study.
The visual presentation is quite unique to this era and unlike a modern conception.
Please examine the scan closely as it forms the central part of the description. There is a zoom feature so you can see close up.
[note: we grade very conservatively and always seek to disclose any noteworthy flaws
].
The printed area remains visually pleasing, a nice impression of an interesting and uncommon detailed image.
A fine mid-19th century print any collector, dealer, or institution would be happy to possess. Perfect for display purposes.
Sheet measures c. 11 5/8" x 8 3/4" .
