Since Adirondack Retro acquired Darvill's Rare Prints in August of 2022, we have been working tirelessly on our New State-Of-The Art Website. We are excited to announce that it is now up and running and that our massive inventory of Antique Prints and Rare Maps are being transferred over to the new site daily. In addition to the nearly 500,000 prints found on www.DarvillsRarePrints.com, Adirondack Retro offers an eclectic selection of Antique and Vintage Advertisements along with their Limited Edition Giclee Prints. During this transition, customers will still be able to shop and make purchases on www.DarvillsRarePrints.com.

Condition notes
Very good/Excellent: There is a white 'scratch' to the left of the figure's left-most shoulder. It is not terribly noticeable and appears to have occured during the printing process over 100 years ago. Faint smudges/toning in margins.
NOTE: this print is not a stone lithograph like so many of the Vanity Fair prints. During certain times in the late years of the magazine, the publishers used the (then) fairly new process of halftone offset lithography. In this case the printers were Bemrose Dalziel, LTD of London. Under magnification, the print does have halftone dots, but is not a modern reproduction—it is an authentic, original print over 100 years old, guaranteed.
