Image is 28-1/4" x 24-3/4", the paper is 36" x 30". This is an engraving by Henri Alexandre Georges Regnault (1843-1871) titled "Automedon With The Horse of Achilles". Copyrighted in 1889 by T.A. Coale Jr. - St. Louis, Missouri, it is signed on the bottom right "G. Mercier". Automedon was the chariot-driver of Achilles. On the day that Patroclos was slain by Hektor, Automedon drove the horses Balios and Xanthos to the rear of the army of the Achaeans so that he could console them. This image shows Automedon bringing the wildly distraught horses from the battle.There is a picture of a girl on the bottom margin. This is a great, high quality image. This is unframed and there are a few light folds from being rolled and unrolled. You won't be disappointed with this, it is in excellent condition.
