Based on a now obscure Kellogg & Thayer print published around 1846, this couldnt have been painted long after. Early proportions and great ink depth. Original paper, because of tears and loss, was mounted to a THICK mat board some time in the 1920s. To do this properly, invest in the removal of the pups from the acidic board. For now, they have been matted and backed with 4 ply museum rag to minimize any further toning. Thin maple frame is likely original or close to it in date. Sight size measures 8.5 x 11, including frame 12 x 15. Very pleased to offer this one, relics like this just dont come up anymore.
