****This print depicts a Photograph of the Actor Joseph Jefferson in his portrayal of Rip Van Winkle, the central character from Washington Irving's famous short story.
Jefferson is shown with a long, flowing white beard and disheveled clothing, characteristic of Rip Van Winkle after his legendary twenty-year slumber. He is holding a walking stick and appears to be in a natural, possibly mountainous setting, referencing the Catskill Mountains where Rip's nap occurred.
The print is an engraving, from the late 19th century, capturing the details of Jefferson's portrayal and the essence of Irving's character.
Also included is the tissue paper covering with a brief description of the scene.
This is an original, not a reproduction. It came from a destroyed 1st edition book published in 1892 by Selmar Hess called Character Sketches of Romance Fiction and Drama. There is some damage, aging to the bound side of the print. All prints are either wood engravings, etchings, photogravure, or typogravure.
Approx Size - 11.5"x 9"
Great for framing, assemblage, collage art, scrapbooking, college or school reports, research
