The British
Museum offers the following description of this print (no image on website):
“Landscape with
tall trees in the foreground, and in the background, left, an arch” (https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/P_1865-1209-816).

near faultless impression in near pristine condition with no tears, holes,
folds, abrasions, significant stains, foxing or signs of handling.
I am selling
this beautifully rendered landscape—note the freshness of the linework and close
observation of the trees that (to my eyes) exemplifies the spirit of the Barbizon
movement—for AU$212 (currently US$158.07/EUR133.36/GBP114.07at the time of this
listing) including postage and handling to anywhere in the world (but not, of
course, any import duties/taxes imposed by some countries).
If you are
interested in purchasing this superb etching that is seldom seen on the art
market, please contact me (oz_jim@printsandprinciples.com) and I will send you
a PayPal invoice to make the payment easy.
