Harbor and City of Monterey, California 1842 Engraving

This item is an authentic 19th-century black and white engraving depicting a birds-eye panoramic view of the 'Harbor and City of Monterey, California 1842'. The print is executed in a highly detailed, fine-line style characteristic of guild master engravers of the mid-1800s. The composition features a curved coastline with masted sailing vessels anchored in the bay and a developing coastal settlement comprising small dwellings, warehouses, and early commercial structures nestled against rolling hills. The typography at the base is rendered in a formal serif and blackletter script, typical of municipal or commemorative documents of that era. Physically, the print appears to be on heavy wove paper, likely manufactured in New York, and is currently housed in a contemporary cream-colored mat with a dark inner fillet and a black frame with a silver or metallic edge. Notable features include the intricate cross-hatching to denote shadows and water movement, indicative of high-quality craftsmanship. The condition shows subtle age-toning across the paper surface, with some visible rippling or slight cockling to the sheet under the glass, suggesting atmospheric moisture exposure over time. There are faint foxing spots or minor discolorations consistent with an item of its estimated age. The print serves as a significant historical record of Pre-Gold Rush California architecture and maritime activity, showcasing the skill of professional printmakers in documenting the expanding American frontier.
