A print from the famous "Routlege's Coloured Scrap-Book" published in
1867
in New York and London. Routlege's books were classic children picture books. Pages were single-sided and made of HEAVY linen cloth. The original source of this page is a scare children's book with stunning chromolithographs. The previously under-appreciated art of early children's book is just now being corrected. However, because they were for children, most have not survived in good shape, with may a pen or crayon scribble.
NOTE: Condition is quite good due to heavy linen cloth. However, at more than 150 years old, these civil-war era prints due have some wear and tear and minor soiling. Please inspect picture for faults.

The Nature of Prints & Engravings
: It was not until the 20th century that prints were commonly produced for the
print
itself. Prior to this, virtually all prints (and engravings) were produced as
illustrations
to be included in a manuscript, book, newspaper, or pamphlet. Therefore, a vast majority of original prints have been over the years removed from these original sources. Prints are produced using many different techniques:
relief printing
(woodcut & wood engraving),
intaglio printing
(steel & copper plate engraving, drypoint, aquatint, etc), and
planographic printing
(lithography, serigraphy, inkjet, laser, etc.).  While the commercial value of a print depends on such factors as age, rarity, and condition, the real value of a print is its tie to its history and/or its esthetic beauty.
