Item History & Price
**No glass, no wooden frame. The mat and the print have damage- please read "CONDITION" below and the whole description for the details. This is a gorgeous Lithograph Print from Koerner & Hayes from 1898 of the US Battleship Maine (USS MAINE) . The colors are very nice, (beautiful, actually!) this will frame well and look great when displayed. This battleship sank f...rom an explosion in the Havana Harbor (Cuba) in 1898, unknown if this print was produced before the loss of the ship, or after. The Spanish-American War followed soon after the loss of this ship -("Remember the Maine!") The print is loosely laid in the mat frame, although it may have been glued at one time. The mat frame, the backing cardboard and the print itself are all fragile now, due to age and not being protected by glass, etc.The Mat Frame is 11" x 14" , and the Print is 12" x 9.25". Please look at all the PHOTOS and MAKE YOUR OWN JUDGEMENT on the condition, based on the details below and the photos. CONDITION:No glass, no frame. Mat frame is very soft, has large split all the way across on the left side, small scraps of paper remnants from the mat frame stuck to the top of the print, the print itself has a large "V" shape tear on the lower left side (SEE PHOTOS) . Age darkening, and very fragile condition, but the colors and subject matter are VERY desirable.
