Description: This is an antique, double page engraving from FRANK LESLIE'S ILLUSTRATED NEWSPAPER, published in New York in 1885. The paper is a very high quality rag paper, much more durable than the newsprint we use today. Text: 1. GENERAL GRANT TWENTY YEARS AGO -- SCENES AT HIS HEADQUARTERS IN FRONT OF PETERSBURG, VIRGINIA, IN THE SPRING OF 1865; 2. NYC -- FLOWER SHOW, IN AID OF THE GERMAN AND ORTHOPEDIC HOSPITALS, GIVEN AT FIFTH AVENUE AND 28th STREET, MARCH 9th; 3. TEXAS -- THE GREAT RAILWAY STRIKE ON THE WABASH AND SOUTHWESTERN SYSTEM -- THE CREW OF THE FREIGHT TRAIN ABANDONING THEIR LOCOMOTIVE AT THE COMMAND OF STRIKERS (See pictures for smaller text)Artist: NOT IDENTIFIED Condition: EXCELLENT -- Clear, clean, and bright; no tears, creasing or folds (other than the centerfold), and very good margins, perfect for framing. A really beautiful image. Nice dark lines and definition. (Note: NO HOLES AT THE CENTERFOLD.) This print is about 140 years old and guaranteed to be original. It's an authentic, very finely drawn engraving from the aforementioned publication, and not a modern reproduction. The print is about 16" x 22" with good margins, ready to be framed and preserved.
