In the late 1800s many publications were produces depicting scenes of the United States
and the world along with glimpses of art from the famous museums ofthe world..
The majority of the population did not travel and relied upon thesepublications
to see what the rest of America and the world really looked like. They became familiar with
the famous paintings in Europe\'s museums from the pictures they sawin these publications.
Photography was developed in the mid 19th century and still in its infancy,
printing processes were developed to reproduce these original photographs
in publication for the world to see what people, places and the great art masterpieces
really looked like. Some of this wonderful historical record has survived for us to study and enjoy today.
We are offering a collection of Steel Engravings which appeared in one of these publication, in 1864.

Engraving
An engraving is an intaglio process of printing, where the design to be produced is cut
below the surface of the plate (made of steel, copper or wood), and the incised lines are
filled with ink that is then transferred to paper.
Our U. S. currency is a very good example of the engraving process.
