Savannah R.R Doing what Line of Battle asked for HAND COLORING needed was expert attention to the smallest spots for great identity. Please look at all the pictures.Very attractive and visually dazzling mid-19th century engraved view of this important southern Atlantic coastal port during the Civil War. Under a magnifying glass countless dozens of individual row houses and buildings are visible, the level of engraved detail difficult to image today. For instance, virtually every tiny house has numerous pinhead size engraved windows on it, a marvel of hand work only rivaled perhaps by delicate brain surgery hand movements, done for stretches of hours at a time. A marvel of skilled hand work. With superior and atmospherically nuanced hand color which creates a superior visual example. Much is touched on, better to look ! Sneak on that having great fun.
