Henri Toussaint Etching 'Reims' 1883, Rare Antique Bargain, Re-framed by Vendor 

Very good condition. Believed to be a Period Print contemporary to the Artist. Slight spotting in Areas but doesn't detract from the image. No returns for that reason. Original frame was distressed and coming apart at the back. Couldn't be sold in that condition so it had to be reframed. See photos.
