I have a dozen or so such as the above scanned form Wallace so far, and will start working on other public domain, 19th century works soon. I have edited out some of the worst of the tears and stains. Soon, I think I will put together some images on calendars and maybe even some composites on old maps. They are great drawings of local scenes from Saratoga to Ausable Chasm and Wilmington’s High Falls Gorge to Mount Marcy, John Brown’s Grave, Placid Lake, and Sawteeth Mountan.
