What method created the photo?

I don’t know how the photo was created, engraving? Pencil sketch? I appreciate if someone can tell me.

 

Welcome. It's a copy of a lithograph:“Scene on the Delaware River at Philada. during the severe winter of 1856” by James Fuller Queen.

Somebody copied JF Queen's work. Who is "C Kraft" ? (the name in the left corner) from Camden, New Jersey.

Please provide complete pictures, i.e., of the rest of the work.

Btw that acid paper mat should probably be removed since it is doing the work no favors. The tannins from the mat are already browning the mat edges, so they will bleed into the work, if not already.


the shine, and dull spots caused by water drips, at the top of the print, looks like it was a silver reproduction print, maybe from a photo taken of the lithograph. Looks genuinely old, perhaps c 1900.

The people in the 'ephemera' forum might know more.

 

You are so knowledgeable! Now I am pretty sure it’s a silver reproduction print because a.c. Kraft was a local camera supplies company. Thank you!
