Content Description

A collection of approximately 30 matted illustrated prints, suitable for display. The illustrations appear to be high-quality reproductions of etchings and photogravures that originally appeared as illustrated plates within books. The reproductions likely date from the late 20th century; the illustrations upon which they are based appear to date from the 1700s to early 1900s. Subject matter includes scenes from history and classical literature. All the prints are mounted uniformly with grey mat board, and all are sized 12" x 13 1/12".
