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.
