This antique engraving has been in my family forever but safely stored in the basement as it is rather large and heavy. The wood frame and backing are in excellent condition with some light wear. The engraving proper is somewhat faded and has foxing and light marks here and there. There are tiny bits of paper peel here and there, one noticeably on President Lincoln\'s nose. The antique glass has a wavy look which casts shadows on the paper at different angles.
Please checks pictures carefully because this is a truly antique picture, 151 years old, with marks that prove it\'s age, and sold as such. The text below the picture is faint even in person, but still readable.

43\" x 32\" with Wood Frame
35.5\" x 25.5\" actual print
Glass is solid with no cracks.
Backed with original wood planking.
