Bring a piece of Americana into your collection with this charming hand-colored engraving of the City of Cincinnati, created by William Wellstood after an illustration by Asa Coolidge Warren. Published by D. Appleton & Co., this finely detailed view captures Cincinnati from the surrounding hills, offering a picturesque glimpse into the city's 19th-century landscape.

Wellstood, born in Edinburgh in 1819 and later active in New York City, built a respected career as an engraver of portraits, landscapes, and historical scenes. This unsigned example reflects his skilled craftsmanship and careful attention to detail, enhanced by delicate hand-coloring.

Presented in a frame measuring 16.0" W x 14.0" H x 3.25" D, the piece shows discolorations, a slightly misaligned sheet within the frame, and minor markings to the frame-consistent with age and adding to its authentic character.
The sticker on the back shows this piece is from Closson's, a fine art gallery that operated in Cincinnati, Ohio, from 1866 to 2010.

A wonderful addition for collectors of historical prints, Cincinnati memorabilia, or early American engravings.
