About the Item
Title: 19th-Century Engraving of Sailboats in a Bustling Harbor, Possibly Victoria Harbour
Description: This captivating 19th-century engraving depicts a serene yet active maritime scene featuring elegant sailing vessels and a small rowboat in the foreground. The intricate detailing of the ships, the reflections on the water, and the bustling harbor in the background suggest a location of significant trade and seafaring activity.
