Giveaways: Steel Plate Engravings

Only one per person, so if only one person responds, they'll still only get one print.

All of these were published by Albert Henry Payne’s company in Leipzig. Most of them were published in “Payne’s Universum, or Pictorial World”, but probably not all. I don’t have specific dates for most, but you can figure between 1850 and 1870. There are some spots on some, but nothing disfiguring. The prints aren’t particularly well centered, but all have generous margins and can be trimmed as needed. They’ll look good matted and framed.

Image size does not include titles.

That's all, folks!

 

Hi,
I'm in please'
greg

 

I would love anyone of these too, please count me in too

 

Oh, you have some of the best give aways! I'm in, too.

 

WOW, these are beautiful!! I would like to be in.

 

How nice of you to offer these! Would love one. Especially love number six with the girl/kitten, but will be glad to get any one.

 

OMG THESE ARE GORGEOUS!! I WANT IN TOO PLEASE!!
But there are 3 I would not hang: Jasmund, Dalliance (with the cat and because I know Happy! will love that one!), and Hardworking Guardian.

My favorites are: Morning Prayer, Meta, Nanni, and Tight Stockings - and I would frame and hang any of these please!

And of course, I would want to pay for shipping!

 

Antidiem, you are quite the guy or gal!

 

Meta..or Tight Stockings......... I'm in ..Please !!

 

LOVELY !!! ... Joy.

 

We're up to eight so far, so someone will be disappointed. I promise I'll give them all away and no shipping necessary, but I won't promise who gets what.

This stays open until some arbitrary time on Monday.

On Monday evening, I'll randomly select seven names: 1st name gets first pick, and so on...

 

Ahemm........just speaking out loud here.......
fair is fair......but if I should be so lucky as to get one........& someone else gets one.....& we both like the one the other got............... can we trade ?

 

I'll select seven names and they'll pick in order as stated. The available selection will diminish as each pick takes a print out of the running.

If you are low on the list, and don't want any of the prints remaining, you are not obliged to make a selection. Just pass, and I'll add another name to the list.

Why would a person who had an earlier, and larger, selection to choose from want to swap?

Don't make this complicated.

 

Yeah. Put me in. There are a couple I really like. If any of my faves are not available if I get chosen, I'll pass to the next person.

 

1st name gets first pick, and so on...

I missed that...............SORRY !!!

 

You're such a kind person, and I do mean that with all sincerity. I returned this morning to see what could be done because I know my post sounded so picky! And I know how picky I am, so I would have done the same. Was trying to figure it out and what I could do to help others get the print they want, when I read this:

How brilliant you are!

 

Gal, thanks! The kitty print is adorable, and I hope you can win it! If I get the opportunity to select that one - I will want you to pinch hit for me!

 

Wow, these are absolutely gorgeous. I’d love to be included.
