Due to my first NEUTRAL Feedback I have received on an engraved print, PLEASE READ----

** These prints ARE cut from a BOOK as STATED, they are genuine PRINTS as the process they used for printing illustrations in books back in the 1800s differ from today and are all ENGRAVED from blocks and printed individually.

** ALL PRINTS have measurements stated, not ONCE BUT TWICE - PLEASE USE YOUR RULER to judge size PRIOR to purchase to save disappointment.

** I cut the best I can, there is always a border left that you can trim the print up to your satisfaction.

** FINALLY, if you are too ignorant to read the listing entirely, to work out what you are bidding on, then PLEASE DO NOT PURCHASE from me to leave bad feedback just because you do not know what you are bidding on which is all described to the best of my ability, this is UNFAIR to a seller when you quite clearly don't own glasses, a ruler or scissors............... PS there is ALWAYS the option of asking Questions before purchasing, I always respond in a timely manner, lets make ebay fun and FAIR!!

This lot includes one ORIGINAL 1888 finely engraved Print on heavy, stable paper depicting The Start of the Melbourne Cup of 1862- Flemington Racecourse, Thursday Nov 13, 1862, 1st Archer, 2nd Mormon and 3rd Camden- has a write-up underneath about the race and other starts, please see the pic, if you click on it, and enlarge, should be able to see what it is.

My scanner is not perfect, when enlarged, little flecks of colour are seen, this is not in the print at all.
