Antique 19th Century English Stipple Engraving - Street Performers - Circa 1880

Antique - hand colored - whimsical 19th century English stipple engraving of street performers with a monkey doing a high wire act with another in wait while a diverse crowd is genuinely amused - circa 1880. The engraving is in an antique - custom made - solid oak frame - old English paper label on the original dust cover at the back. Matted with what appears to be an acidic matte board - conserved under glass. The over-all condition of the print appears to be excellent - the paper is cut down in size to accomodate the framing - the matte needs to be replaced (acidic matte board) - the frame varnish is dry in areas - the paper label is mounted on the back upside down - otherwise in fine antique form. Size of viewable engraving - 8 3/4"W x 5 1/2"H. Frame size - 12 3/4"W x 9 1/2"H x 3/4"D.
