ORIGINAL c1860 'FORT LAFAYETTE NEW YORK HARBOR' LITHOGRAPH PUBLISHED BY BUFFORD PRINT PUBLISHING BOSTON

This is a great piece. I recently acquired a large collection of New York works that I am offering this week.  If you collect views of New York from the early 19th Century through the today, check my store for all the works I am offering.  A large majority of the prints come from a major bank corporate collection and were originally purchased at the important New York print and art dealer Donald Heald.  They all bear the label of the gallery and are museum archive level matted and framed.  Really ready to hang as they are and to be preserved!!!  An incredible chance to add a unique piece or a few to your collection.  I have only seen this print one other time.  And that time I bought it and sold it on ebay - about 15 years ago.  Since then, I have not seen another one, and my research has not yielded any other examples having come to market.  This print dates to around 1860-1861 and I actually think was printed because of the Fort being used as a prison during the Civil War.  Image measures 7 1/2 x 10 1/2 inches and is in excellent condition.  Original hand coloring blue of the water sand sky and also the red stripes of the American flag.  You can see a couple of lines in the print in the bottom but those are from the printing process.  Really a very good example of this very scarce original print.  Archival french matte and beautiful burled wood frame are ready to hang.  Frame measures 19 1/4 x 22 1/2 inches.   FREE SHIPPING ANYWHERE IN THE UNITED STATES!  WILL COMBINE SHIPPING WHERE SAFE FOR THE PICTURES.
