Hello Laurie,

Thank you for your appraisal inquiry with Mearto. The item presented appears to be a steel engraving after a painting by Frederic Chapman (American, 1818 - 1891) titled "The Angel of Hadley" or "The Perils of Our Forefathers." The original painting is held in the collection of Forbes Library in Northampton, Massachusetts. This steel engraving is likely engraved by John C. McCrae and was first published in 1859.

The estimate provided is based on recent auction estimates and results of comparable engravings after paintings by Chapman. The estimate is contingent on a full condition report. Please note asking or dealer prices may vary. Thank you and please take care.
