Default HARRY WRIGHT's "Big-Big Bat"....Harper's 1869 artwork

Posted By: Ted Zanidakis

Hey guys and gals......there are several interesting articles on the back of this Harper's Weekly woodcut; and,
one that I find quite relevant to our times regarding the "energy" debate. Then, 140 years ago, the discussion
revolved around the viability of Steam-powered vehicles. In 1869, there were some prototype steam-powered
farm equipment (plows, tractors, etc.), but it wasn't until 30 years later that the Stanley Steamer Co. started
producing comercially available automobiles.

Anyhow, I thought that this article would be of interest to some of you.

This colorful woodcut is in Ex+ condition and professionally matted. So, who can tell me what the value of this
vintage pix is ?
