The first etching is of Portsmouth, NH in the mid 1800s. The second is of a logging operation in Quebec, and the third is of a small town in Quebec - near where my family immigrated from. Stephen Parrish was a very accomplished engraver and his etchings were in demand at the time his son's career skyrocketed to fame in the early 1900s. These have been in my family for a long time.

These are great etchings ho2. So much detail and the atmosphere delivered is so real - I particularly love that third one. The cattle being moved through the village. I can feel the cold and smell the smoky air.
Just love these.
Love the detail in these, thanks for sharing.
thanks racer4four and walksoftly! they are nice etchings that we've had for many years.
the first one of Portsmouth Harbor is particularly good - historically. the large georgian bldg is still there - near Strawberry Bank.
