Size:12 by 9 1/2 inches actual picture without writing 6 1/2 by 4 1/2 inches approximately Condition: no foxing looks really good for its age , a little toning on edges but look at Photos with an acid free mat and black frame it would look real nice. Really nice engraving. If you google this engraving you will see many collections have this engraving. The library of Congress sells photos of this engraving. Made for Electic Magazine. Great piece of history. We got these while we were living in Philadelphia. Bought at an antique store and always thought we would open a store to sell prints but now retired so just selling. Have over 200 engravings. Have sat in a box for over 30 years. Lots of copies of this engraving but this is an original. Note the size of this engraving compared to others. This is much bigger.
