Comments:
- The measurements are approximate.
- Ideal engraving as a collector's item and a decorative element.
- The fact that the engraving has a distinctive mark or contrast is of great importance in order to identify data such as the engraver, the artist, the place where it was printed and other details.
- Because it is inevitable that there will be differences in tones between photos and reality, you should bear in mind that the tones of the colours in the photos are not exactly the same as the tones of the real colours.
- The Engraving on sale is the one that corresponds to the photos, which in turn are complemented in this Description, with the aim of providing a better knowledge of the Object, and never being a detailed exhibition of it.
