Hartford Connecticut River Sailing Ship c. 1840 old antique print city view

Hartford in Connecticut.Issued c. 1840, Hildburghausen, Germany.Interesting mid-19th century engraved print of this New England city during the age of sail.The image has a near folk-art feel, a style of image quite unique to this time in history. Utterly unlike anything produced today and of modern aesthetic appeal for this very reason.Mostly clean & well preserved example, light blank margin toning, staining which just visually testifies to the age and adds to the nice patina.Sheet measures c. 8 3/4" x 6 1/2"Printed area measures c. 7" x 4 1/2"[B13696].
