Described as an "antique print"


Other information

got if from korvet2.ru, but they presumably got it from strelno.ru cos it it had a watermark from that site, and before that... who knows. But they can't claim it, cos -- unless it's a clever hoax -- it's a 19th century drawing, drawn in a 19th style by a 19th century artist on a subject (an 18th century feat of heroism) that would likely be of interest to 19th century readers. And the website describes it as an "antique print".
