NEGROES COLORED ORPHAN ASYLUM, MEMPHIS TENNESSEE NEGRO
NEGROES COLORED ORPHAN ASYLUM, MEMPHIS TENNESSEE NEGRO
This genuine antique wood-cut engraving/print is titled "COLORED ORPHAN ASYLUM, MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE--A GROUP OF PORTRAITS SKETCHED FROM LIFE", published in "Harper's Weekly" May 1866. This dated engraving from the year of 1866 is 11
x 15 inches in size with wide margins.
It is in
excellent condition,
highly displayable and
ready for framing
and is guaranteed to be as described.
The lines you may see in some of the older engraving/prints are from the adjoining of woodblocks to make/produce the complete image. In order to speed up the process of wood-cut engravings, several
artists carved
a section of the block of wood then the blocks were adjoined, stamped in ink then onto
this page
.  Also occasional spots or foxing are usual for these engravings that are over 135 years old. They do not detract from the value or splendor of the engraving but only attest to it's authenticity!
This beautiful and decorative antique engraving would make a great addition to any Home, Office or Restaurant decor!
