Sea Lions and Their Young
1871 Wood Engraving
These are probably the famous seals in San Francisco Bay. Back then, that was a very remote area for most Americans, and the best they could hope for was to see it in an image such as this. This wood engraving is a perfect example of the kind of craftsmanship that has all but been lost in the 20th century. It would be a good gift to a nature-lover. The print is in excellent condition with no discoloration or other damage, and is on medium-weight paper, blank on the reverse. The margins are bigger than shown here, the print being 7-3/4 inches by 5-1/4 inches; the image area is about 4-1/2 inches by 3-1/4 inches. Your satisfaction is guaranteed.
