VINTAGE GUSTAVE DORE METAL ENGRAVING CRUSADES JERUSALEM

EXQUISITE VINTAGE COPPER ON BRASS METAL GUSTAVE DORE HEBREW ENGRAVING PLATE MOUNTED ON OLIVE BOARD FEATURING AN INTRICATELY DRAWN SCENE OF A FAMOUS AREA IN OLD JERUSALEM NEAR THE JAFFA GATE CALLED THE TOWER OF DAVID CITADEL

Absolutely stunning in design and condition - Being offered with NO RESERVE. 

I recently purchased this vintage copper on brass reversed engraving mounted plate at an estate sale in Atlanta, Georgia along with several other antiques and collectibles acquired from the same estate which I will be listing soon, so please check out my other listings

Condition:  Excellant Vintage conditon with some minor places with age oxidation which can be seen in my close-up pictures below.  The olive board the engraving is mounted to appears to be original to the age of the print.  There is a paper label on the back of the board which is written in Hebrew.  The engraving is securely fastened onto the board. 

The scene drawn on the engraving by famous French artist Gustave Dore (1832-1883) features a high wall and stone castle with riders on camels below the tower.  The scene appears to be depicting the time of the Crusades in Jerusalem.  I believe the scene to be that of an area in Old Jerusalem near the Jaffa Gate called The Tower of David Citadel.

Measurements:  The actual vintage engraving measures 5" in height and 3 1/2" in width.  The entire engraving including the olive board it is mounted to measures 7" in height and 5" in width.  It has a depth of almost 1/2".

Please visit my picture gallery below for different angles and lovely vintage condition.
