A wonderful collection of original antique engravings, for The Graphic illustrated weekly newspaper, published in London on 19 September 1885. The Graphic periodical was an illustrated weekly newspaper that began production towards the end of 1869 and soon became the main competitor for The Illustrated London News. The wood engraved illustrations were of the highest standard of any newspaper, but with the advent of modern technology and photography in the twentieth century they deteriorated considerably. The Graphic ceased publication in 1923.
