You are bidding on a large, very rare original antique engraving from an 1860s French illustrated journal.
It depicts three views of the pearl diving industry in the Casablanca area of Morocco about 150 years ago. The large central portion is a cross-section of the sea, showing both the boats and the scene under water. The top show the villagers sorting and trading the pearls.
Also included with the print is a second page from the same journal with a 60-inch article. The article starts on the second page and ends on the back of the print. It is in French, but free computer translation programs make it easy to translate.
It is very large (folio size), measuring approximately 10.5 x 14.5 inches (26.5 x 36.5 cm). The picture fills most of the page, with a French caption below.
The page is in excellent condition for its age. There is text/photos on the back of the print. See scan for an accurate view of the condition.
