1870s Original Victorian Travel Print - Arabs Market Scene - Antique Woodblock Print - Illustrated Travels Book - 12 x 8.5 in
Fascinating Victorian-era print depicting Middle Eastern traders in traditional dress. This print is titled 'Arabs Bringing Skins To Market' and originates from Illustrated Travels: A Record of Discovery, Geography, and Adventure, edited by H. W. Bates of the Royal Geographical Society and published by Cassell, Petter & Galpin between 1869-1875. Page measures 12 x 8.5 in.
The detailed illustration shows three figures carrying animal pelts across a desert landscape, with birds soaring overhead and distant terrain. Minor text show-through appears in borders but doesn't affect the central image.
Great for collectors of Victorian travel literature, historical Middle Eastern art, or ethnographic illustrations.
