    Would anyone know how old this is? Engraved by W. H. Lizars.

    It's a plate from a book that someone has broken up. Your close-up of caption, etc. is out of focus so can't help but you should be able to identify volume with an internet search of keywords.

    Given that William Lizars is the engraver on your print, it probably came from a UK reprint version, maybe 1830s.
