Description: This is an antique chromolithograph (colored lithograph) cover from an old issue of PUCK Magazine, a political satire magazine published in 1885 that was very popular in its day, and continues to be popular among collectors of political memorabilia today. TEXT: FALSE WEIGHTS AND MEASURES IN THE NEW YORK CUSTOMS HOUSE ( See pictures for smaller text) ARTIST: GILLAM, signed in plate CONDITION: EXCELLENT -- The prints in this series are clear, clean, very colorful and bright. No foxing, tears or folds. A really fine image. Excellent definition. Nice clean, sharp lines, and wide margins. This print is about 140 years old and guaranteed to be original. It is an authentic old lithograph from the aforementioned magazine and NOT A MODERN REPRODUCTION. The visible part of the print, including the white border (if any) is about 9" x 12 1/2". Matted the print measures 12" x 16". This is a standard size matte that will fit into a standard size frame. ALL OF OUR MATTED PRINTS ARE WRAPPED IN A CLEAR CELLOPHANE ENVELOPE THAT PROTECTS THE PRINT DURING SHIPPING AND IS PERFECT FOR GIFT GIVING. ABOUT THE MATS All of our prints are bevel matted in a very high quality, and simple off-white/ivory matting. The black acid-free backing, WHICH IS NOT ATTACHED TO THE PRINT, also meets the same high quality standard. We take pride in what we sell. Look at our feedback. All mats are acid-free and the small piece of tape used to attach the print to the top of the mat is artists tape. This print is truly ready to be framed and preserved.
