Description: Two Original Harper’s Weekly vintage (original, not modern reproductions) woodcut engravings – two different prints from a scrapbook, one pasted on each side. These are the desirable double-page illustrations, issued folded, but because these were mounted into a scrapbook nearly 150 years ago, the folds have flattened and are nearly invisible. In addition, because of the mounting and storage, the prints are vivid with no age toning. Images shown with this listing: The first is a collage of both prints; the second and third are from a large scanner bed that doesn’t quite show the prints’ full size, but does best show the engraved details and the age tone. The last two images are photographs, although I am not very good with the camera, these images do show all the edges. If desired, I’m sure there is a way to remove these pages (but you may frame one as-is); I would recommend consulting with a paper conservator.1) “The British Arctic Expedition - Sunday Morning on Board the 'Alert,' in Midwinter" Illustration by ?, published December 9, 1876. Size 1 1/4 x 17 1/2 inches. Condition: no folds or foxing, retains the sub-title below.2) "Louis van de Male, Earl of Flanders, Hiding from the Soldiers of Philip Van Arteveld" from a painting by Mrs. Sparkes. Published in late 19th century. Size 12 x 16 1/2 inches. Condition: no age toning, foxing or folds. I have other double-page Harper’s Weekly wood engravings listed from the same scrapbook; combine orders and save on shipping. Questions always welcome.
