You are bidding on a huge original antique Engraving from an 1880s illustrated journal.

It depicts young orphan boys (Street waifs) being fed at an orphanage or charity for the homeless.

It is very large (double folio size), measuring approximately 21.5 x 15.75 inches (54.5 x 40 cm). The picture fills most of the page, with a caption below. The back of this print has unrelated text/photos on the back.

The caption reads: Waifs and Strays

The print has a fold in the middle, where it was folded into the magazine long ago. Note that the fold line is clean and undamaged, because it was "tipped" into the binding. This was a luxury binding technique of that era, because the double page prints were free of binding holes down the center.

The page is in excellent condition for its age. See scan for an accurate view of the condition.

This print will come with a Certificate of Authenticity.
