Description Notes

B&W engraving of Jedidiah Buxton leaning out of a window or frame. The paper surrounding the print has some surface dirt, and the edges are worn. In the top left there is a crease which goes across some of the picture, and there is some spotting (maybe fly spots?) on the top edge.
Good- fair condition, complete.
