1877 Vol. 23 Twenty-Three Picturesque Europe !! Unbelievably Rare Find !! D. Appleton & Co. Original Etchings !! Rare Antique Gifts !!
I found a nice collection of 1870's subscription magazines titled Picturesque Europe and each volume has an original published engraving in the front! π² ...π These are rare indeed and a perfect historical gift!!
This listing is for Vol. 23 Twenty-Three pages 41-64 with an original etching by John Godfrey of Birket Foster "The Bass Rock". Bass Rock, or simply the Bass, is an island in the outer part of the Firth of Forth in the east of Scotland. The magazine cover is 10 3/8" x 13 1/4". The etching is 12 7/8" x 10".
CONDITION: Over 135 years old in fair condition! The cover, binding, and paper is very delicate and fragile. NOT FOR CASUAL HANDLING!! The etching in the front is on a card stock and in very nice condition (SEE PHOTOS). Very crisp and detailed.
IMPORTANT: I took detailed photos so please review before you purchase.
