From my research, it appears to be an original 1790s print depicting Lady Emma Hamilton as a Sibyl, engraved by George Townley Stubbs (London).</p><p>It looks like an exact match to the one held in the British Museum collection (Museum number 1888,0716.326).</p><p>The publication line at the bottom is fully intact and reads: <i>&quot;London. Pub. by T. Stubbs, No. 57, High Street, Marylebone, April 4th, 1792&quot;</i>. It is partially hand-colored (blue turban and yellow accents), and the original plate mark is clearly visible in the paper.</p><p>It is currently unframed. As you can see from the photos, it has some condition issues: there is distinct foxing/spotting near the top, some water staining, and wear/minor tearing along the outer margins. The central image and the text line are clean.</p><p>I would greatly appreciate any insights on this piece! Does the coloring look contemporary to the period? Given the current foxing and condition, what would be a fair market value for a piece like this in today&#039;s market?</p><p>Thank you in advance for your help!</p><p>Best regards,</p><p>Harriet[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
