This listing is for a RARE Fort Duquesne Map (Pittsburgh Point) Print Block Copper Antique Letterpress. It depicts the area in great detail as well as a mapping of how the earthenworks were constructed. A great piece of Pittsburgh pa history, and the modern location of point state park. It really is more a piece of printing art than printing media. It would be great to use to make more prints with, to either personally enjoy or potentially sell if able. Also great to frame up or display on a shelf. A great item for collectors of print blocks/ momento mori like items, printshops, gifting, display / decor, and more!
It in good antique condition for the age. It has a Unique cool pattern that due to its nice lines is possibly still usable. Has some slight areas of patina & some wear that could likely be cleaned. Please note I am not a printmaker, and have not attempted to “test” it. Has some slight patina, made need prepped in some way.
Thank you for your consideration, comes as shown. Please see photos for details and measurements. Comes packed with care insured in shipment.
