Vintage, Hand Drawn "Ship of the Line" Picture, Signed "JFS", Framed - Exc Con

Vintage, Hand Drawn "Ship of the Line" Picture, Signed "JFS", Framed - Excellent Condition, NOT A PRINT

You are looking at an Original, hand drawn picture of what looks like a "Ship of the Line", the pride of the Royal Navy from the Golden Age of Queen Elizabeth the First to the Napoleonic war.

This is an original image drawn in black ink on thick card/parchment light material and signed by the artist "JFS". I have no idea who this is. I did have a look but was unable to find who the signature belonged too. The overall condition of the picture is excellent. No, stains, marks or fading.

This picture comes in a frame (either made from plastic or thick cardboard) decorated with gold colour plastic trim and has strings across the back so the picture can be hung. The condition of the frame is ok though it does have a number of chips to the plastic gold decoration around the edge. The glass covering the picture is not chipped or scratched. The paper the covers the back of the frame is ripped across the top. Ideally this picture would be installed within a new frame but this sale will include this one, mainly to protect the picture in transit. 

This picture would make a great gift for fans of the sea, maritime history and the Royal Navy.
