We are not experts.  Please review all the photos (with magnifier) and read all details before bidding.  We acquired this (and 4 others listed separately) art prints from an old estate.  We see the impression on the paper which indicates these are etching. Clearly an artist's rendition of a Hot Air Balloon.  The text is written in French. "Premire Voyage Aerien 1783" which an online translator indicates as "First Air Travel 1783". A French Chateau is in the background. These may be printed from an older work and are not signed.  This and the others were protected under glass in the simple wood frame as shown.  The backing looks very old and aged and likely not as old necessarily as the print. Please contact us if you can enlighten us with more information. Outside frame dimensions: 12 1/2" x 16 1/2". The glass does add weight to shipping and we will remove it upon request of the buyer. Thank You.
