Rare gravure antique mezzotinte du à prix réduit président Zachary Taylor par John Sartain

We are pleased to be selling thousands of early engravings, lithographs, and prints from the incredible collection amassed by Winfield Robbins (1840-1910) of Arlington, Massachusetts. After his death in 1910, the collection was donated to local institutions where it has sat for the last 100+ years. The collection covers many styles of works over numerous centuries so be sure to check back regularly for new listings.

This listing is for a rare original mezzotint engraving of President Zachary Taylor . Based on what we have found online , this mezzotint was done by John Sartain after a drawing done by Captain Eaton. It measures about 5.25” x 4.5” and the sheet appears to have been trimmed . It was attached to backing paper with the center of the backing paper open so you can see the back of the print . On the back of the print is a Robbins collection stand and pencil writing that reads “ Genl Taylor, Very Rare”.
