~ Allow Me To Take You Back In Time To Brussels In 1890. ~

From my personal collection of amazing antique papers I'm very pleased to present to you, 'The Cathedral Of Saint Gudule' as it stood in the year 1890. Check out the gas lamps and cobblestone pavement in this wonderful period illustration.
Belgium was a very different world 120 years ago. There were no automobiles, electricity was still in it's infancy and photography was a relatively new and very exciting invention.
For the very wealthy, there were lavish picture books for people to gaze upon... exotic and wonderful far off places around the globe; like the book this delightful 8 1/2" x 11" illustrated plate came from.
The printed image itself is 6" x 8" and simply yells "FRAME ME!" I've had it stashed in a box forever and ever and this gorgeous image deserves far better treatment. This beauty has been printed on ever so perfect heavy paper with just a tiny sheen and is smooth and clean; without wrinkles or pings or marks.
What a gem of a find.
This lovely antique illustration will come to your door packed flat and protected in a bendproof mailer delivered First Class Mail by those nice folks at the USPS.
