Description: This is a very nice engraving of the steamship Manitoba. This is an advertisement for the Canadian Pacific Railway Company Upper Lake Steamships Passing Thunder Cape Lake Superior. It is signed on the lower right on the engraving itself. On the left it gives you a list of their steamship – Manitoba, Alberta, and Athabasca and over to the far right there are ports of call – Owen Sound, Sault Ste Marie, Port Arthur, and Fort William. This wonderful lithograph is housed in its original oak frame with a gilt silver interior border. The bottom of the frame has the initials carved in very fancy script CPR. It is a wonderful advertising piece from the 19th century. The condition overall is very good – the frame is really good. The interior silver leaf molding of the frame is quite pitted though. All around the edge of the engraving itself (the border) there is quite a bit of deterioration. It appears to me that with careful restoration this picture could be returned to its original glory. Overall it measures 48 ¾” x 34 ¾” and the sights size is 41 ½” x 27 ½”. All in all here is a fabulous railway and steamship companies collectors engraving that would make a great addition to your collection! Striving For Excellence It isn’t brilliance or just getting the breaks, It is consistent attention to & honest respect for the Customer.
