Originally publshed as a supplement for the Illustrated London News on the 3rd September 1859. Image size approx. 13.7in. x 30.3in. (34cm x 77cm) with good margins and as issued with the original folds. An unusally VG bright impression of this scarce engraving. The Illustrated London News: One of the primary originators of pictorial journalism was the British, "Illustrated London News". Established by Herbert Ingram (1811-1860), the "Illustrated London News" published its initial number in 1842 and continued well into the twentieth century. Throughout its life, skilled artists maintained a very high level of craftsmanship in their illustrative art. Hence, for well over one hundred years, these original engravings have attracted serious collectors who recognize both the historic and artistic value of these images. In fact, one of the first avid collectors of these engravings was Vincent Van Gogh, who, for several years, entertained thoughts of working as an illustrative artist for the publication.
