That is an interesting paper texture. It has a sort of shattered glass look to parts of it. I still stick with my dating of late 1800's. I'm taking the matting (which obviously goes with the print) into consideration. The frame is probably original as well.

Skinny...D & B said the same thing, i.e. 1800's.  While searching online for print types.  I came across the printing type called "Woodcut" seeming a popular printing method in the 19th century. Any thoughts on that type?

I can probably search the other two images that I have and consider skinny's  notation of the matting and frame and come pretty close to the publication  date...Thanks..
