You are bidding on a huge original antique print from an 1880s illustrated journal.
It shows two birds' eye views of the proposed Manchester Ship Canal. On the back is a 28-inch article on the subject.
The top shows Warrington to Manchester; the bottom shows Liverpool to Manchester. There is a 30-inch article on the back about the Manchester Ship Canal.
It is very large (double folio size), measuring approximately 22 x 15.5 inches (56 x 40 cm). The picture fills most of the page, with a caption below. There is unrelated text/photos on the back of this print.
The print has a fold in the middle, where it was folded into the magazine long ago. The fold line is clean. However, there are several small holes along the fold line from where it was sewn into the journal long ago. See scan for an accurate view of the condition.
This print will come with a Certificate of Authenticity.
