Description: 1895 ORIGINAL ETCHING BY WILLIAM STRANG (1859-1921) "CHRISTIAN LOSES HIS BURDEN" From the "Pilgrim's Progress" series of plates for John Bunyan's classic. Signed with initials W.S. bottom right. This comes from the 1895 first edition, published by Nimmo (see my last photo for authentication) - not one of the clapped-out "later impressions". CONDITION : Perfect. Beautifully age-toned, a sharp image, you can clearly see every single line of the etching. Well printed on thick wove paper. Margins intact, platemark clearly visible. Ticks all the boxes. You won't find a better one! Size of main image is 7 x 5 inches. Total size of sheet is 9 x 6.5 inches. Sale includes the original inscribed tissue-guard, just to further validate the item (see my photo).
