c. 1860, Large Lot of Twenty mixed Charles Magnus & Darmstadt Color Print City Views, all Choice Mint New. Twenty engravings, actual plate sizes are 6" to 7" high and 9" to 10", wide; all have huge margins measuring to 11" x 16" for excellent decorative framing and display purposes. (5) each are prints of Philadelphia, Detroit, Albany NY., and Cleveland. Likely these prints were originally sold in sets. (15) of the engravings name Charles Magnus as publisher; those of Cleveland are in the same style but note "G.G. Lange Darmstadt." All are even and light in tone and some have very trivial outer edge tears, not touching near the plates. Lovely coloring enhances the eye appeal of these excellent Civil War Era prints. Each print is easily worth in the area of $125 to $225 each, and more when framed (as we have noted at numerous antique shows). (20 prints).
