This magazine cover is a line engraving which is mainly solid with most text and image elements in reverse.

Solid blocks have little opportunity for pinning to their base throughout the image, so the plate extends by a small margin beyond the image area to provide a non-image border for pinning.

This particular engraving, along with other selected items, is not thought to be at risk from the Museum's inability to pay for storage of the collection. Items like these will be kept safely in the Museum proper, if they can be found in time.

Researchers and interested persons may wish to get involved in the Museum's volunteer program in order to expedite the task of classifying the thousands of remarkable and unremarkable items in the collection.

Please see our volunteering page if interested.
