Up for sale is a great, original, ANTIQUE steel engraving from the THE OFFICIAL ATLAS OF KANSAS - 1887.

It features the BANK OF DOWNS - DOWNS, OSBORNE COUNTY, KANSAS.

On the reverse side are more beautiful, steel engraved illustrations of other notable places in Kansas (ARKANSAS CITY ROLLER MILL CO. - HILL, LANDES & CARY PROPS.) and (OPERA HOUSE BLOCK - CLAY CENTER).

It is a very detailed engraving measuring approximately 14 1/2 x 17 1/2 inches, including the border area. 

This engraving is from "THE OFFICIAL ATLAS OF KANSAS" - Compiled from Government Surveys, County Records and Personal Investigations. Published by L.H. Everts & Co. 1887, Philadelphia, PA.  - Copyright, 1887, L.H. Everts & Co.  

There are tears down one side from where it was originally bound.  

 

It is generally in Very Good Condition. Some age related browning and toning and some spotting and stains. It has some small tears and chips around the edges, but they do not affect the engraving, as well as some other stains here and there.  Some other dings here and there, as well.  

This engraving would be a great addition to any collection and will look very nice when framed!  

Please note that while I have included a picture of the Title Page of the Atlas that this engraving was taken from, it is NOT included in the sale, as it is a reference piece to determine authenticity for other maps/engravings. 

Please see my store for other great items.
