Framed Print of The City Gate, St. Augustine

This item is a framed monochrome print titled 'The City Gate,' depicting the historic entrance to St. Augustine, Florida. The artwork is a fine-line illustration, likely an etching or a high-quality lithographic reproduction of a 19th-century drawing. It features two prominent Coquina stone pillars flanking a narrow dirt road that leads into a town setting with historical architecture and trees. The print is executed in black ink on off-white or cream-colored paper. Physical characteristics include a simple, modern black wooden or composite frame with a slender profile and a matte finish. The piece is protected by glass, which shows significant light reflection in the provided image. Notable features include the printed title 'The City Gate' centered at the bottom margin and an artist's signature or mark in the lower-left corner, though the specific name is difficult to decipher from this resolution. The condition appears fair to good; the frame shows a visible scuff or white mark on the bottom center edge, and there is slight waviness to the paper, suggesting it may not be mounted on an acid-free backing. This style of work is indicative of historical souvenir art or architectural illustrations from the late 20th century replicating an older aesthetic. The craftsmanship of the lines is precise, utilizing cross-hatching and stippling to create depth and texture on the stone surfaces and foliage.
