This is an original either wood or metal engraving likely from the 1800's Graphic or Australasian Pictorial Atlas showing the Mail Steamer leaving Auckland Circa 1880. The engraving in black etch linear working with hand colour application in pastel watercolor is signed in print lower left side S. A Fohell, a little hard to read, it measures 410mm x 330mm over the white enamel texture on wood frame. The engraving is protected behind clear glass with a white over matt. I have had the over matt and backing board replaced so both are clean and sound and the frame has been re-painted so also clean and sound now and the original glass has been re-cleaned inside and out so the print is now well protected, float mounted. The backing board is sound with older text label re-attached, backing tape applied well and ready to hang.
