California Wedding.

(Old Prints, 18th Century Prints, Americana, American West, California, Native Americans, Wedding Ceremonies, Ethnic View, Costume Print).

Issued 1790, London by John Trusler. Engraved by Fittler. Drawn by Benezec.

A scarce 18th century image relating to the early inhabitants of coastal California. Possibly an imaginary image (?), using dress from other regions or locations such as South Seas, Hawaii or South America.

Late 18th century engraved ethnography print relating to natives of North America, found here with attractive hand color. 

Remains a nice looking example with a pleasing age patina. Any age flaws mostly minor and easy to overlook or forgive.
