Print Specifics:

  • Type of print: Copperplate engraving - Original antique print
  • Year of printing: not indicated in the print - actual 1804
  • Condition: 1 (1. Excellent - 2. Very good - 3. Good - 4. Fair)
    • The print was originally folded by the publisher in half, with a paper binding strip affixed along the fold on the reverse side of the print (2nd photo), resulting in a hard crease in the middle and lighter creases on both sides of the fold, caused by the edges of the paper strip (last photo).
    • I carefully removed the binding strip, smoothed out the creases and applied artist tape on the reverse side, along the original fold, to prevent it from reoccurring.
    • Although it is not possible to completely smooth out these crease, the print is now more presentable than before.
  • Dimensions: 16 x 11 inches, (41 x 28 cm), including blank margins (borders) around the images.
  • Paper weight: 2-3 (1. Thick - 2. Heavier - 3. Medium heavy - 4. Slightly heavier - 5. Thin)
  • Reverse side: Blank
  • Note: (1) Green color around the print in the photo is a contrasting background on which the print was photographed. (2) The detail of the print is much sharper than the photo of the print. (3) The print will be mailed rolled in a 3" (7,5 cm) diameter sturdy tube.
