I have acquired a box of prints which seem almost entirely to have originated as Prints from Encyclopaedias or Illustrated dictionaries. They are from the date stated and not later reprints. They are blank on the reverse, all on good quality paperunless otherwise mentioned. I have tried to keep them together in lots depicting the various subjects -

A SET OF xxx finely detailed 1868 c prints from Wood or steel engraving entitled :-

' Fire Engines '

Number  1 shows :-

Longitudinal Section of Merryweather's Fire-Engine, Awarded Gold Medal at The Paris International Exhibition, 1867

American Steam Fire Engine

Number  2 shows :-

Small Hand Fire Engine and Steam FIre Engine

Floating Steam Fire Engine, Perspective Elevation

Each print measures overall 230 x 145 mm (9 x 5.75 ") approx.

CONDITION

It is on good quality paper with a blank reverse, and in good condition (unless otherwise mentioned in the main body of this description) with a little fading around the edges of borders not affecting the print.

Sometimes there are binding holes and witness marks which will be visible in the scan - if in doubt please ask for a jpeg to view closer
