FISHERMAN SHAD FISHING WITH NETS IN WASHINGTON NAVY-YARD SHIPS SHAD FISHERIES

This genuine antique wood-cut engraving is titled "THE WASHINGTON NAVY-YARD, WITH SHAD FISHERS IN THE FOREGROUND", published in "Harper's Weekly" April 1861. In order to speed up the process of wood-cut engravings, several artists carved a section of the block of wood then the blocks were adjoined, stamped in ink then onto this page.
