Item Details

An 1888 hand-colored engraving on paper after an original painting by very well-listed Dutch-American maritime painter Mauritz Frederik Hendrick de Haas (1832 – 1895), titled Going Westward.

The print is signed in-plate to the lower left, and both artists’ names are printed to the lower corners. The title is printed to the lower right, and copyright information is printed to the upper right. Presented without matting or framing, awaiting your choice of presentation.
