A German poem, Abendlied, or, Evening song by Friedrich Rückert was in the blank area in this full-page illustration.

Signed i think HARLEY, prolly John J. Harley, about whom i know very little. The engraver made the lines for the sky a bit wonky, and it was hard to avoid interference fringes on downsizing.

The German caption was Prosit Neujahr, which is a toast to the New Year in Austria and parts of Germany

It was startling to see this as a full-page illo in a book 15½×12" (42x30cm). I was tempted to call it “Donald Trump proposes marriage to Nancy Pelosi, but decided not to mention the idea.

#DrakeloweHall - A rather large English #mansion with a history going back a thousand years, except it was demolished in 1934, and in the 1950s a power plant was built on the site.

Sir Nigel Gresley, steam locomotive designer, was a cousin to the family that lived here.

These chromolithographs are fun to clean up in #GIMP3 - solid colour, no dot screen.
