Scenes in London

(unknown date and publisher, 19th century)

Original hand-colored etchings/engravings (possibly
by Robert Seymour)
Sheet size: approx. 4 1/2 x 7 inches (some trimmed)
(All plates were at one time affixed to a card stock backing, thus have remnants of the adhesive and backing on the reverse side of the print. Browning around edges, short margin tears, etc. are possible—please click on thumbnails to assess the condition.
These prints are being sold "as is.")
