Description: British Parliament 1925 Vintage Lithograph Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE British Red Cross Nurses Landing in Athens Greco-Turkish War of 1897 - 1903 Historical PrintA vintage b/w print depicting a world history scene/legend/story that may no longer exist The landing was during the Greco-Turkish War of 1897. The early 1900s caption reads: British Red Cross Nurses Landing at Athens. During the recent Turkish war there was through all Europe a strong undercurrent of sympathy for the Greeks. This was proven by such events as the one here shown. England sent out a numerous party of volunteer nurses to care for the wounded Greeks. They were received with extravagant welcome in Athens. Our picture is from an actual sketch taken at the time; the sweet faces of the nurses are real portraits, and so perhaps are those of the swarthy, shouting Athenians. ~~~ Full Print Size: Approximately 6" X 9.5" -- Blank on Reverse Side Condition: Excellent - Very Good - Good - Fair - Poor (but of historical interest) Minor handling wear and aging on this century plus-old print...occasional printer's ink speck << Click Here to See Other Prints >> Important: P/H is combined on multiple items that can be mailed together.

Prior to this, virtually all prints (and engravings) were produced as illustrations to be included in a manuscript, book, newspaper, or pamphlet. Therefore, a vast majority of original prints have been over the years removed from these original sources. Prints are produced using many different techniques: relief printing (woodcut & wood engraving), intaglio printing (steel & copper plate engraving, drypoint, aquatint, etc), and planographic printing (lithography, serigraphy, inkjet, laser, etc.). While the commercial value of a print depends on such factors as age, rarity, and condition, the real value of a print is its tie to its history and/or its esthetic beauty.
