English antiquarian print "Clare Street with the Draw Bridge", 1808. I purchased this about 40 years ago from an antique dealer in England. It is still in the cellophane wrapper, unopened, and I have stored it in the dark. It is in excellent condition.

The artist, engraver, and publisher/printer are all well-known (life histories and accomplishments are easy to Google).

The details are -
Technique - Copper plate engraving, aquatint

Artist - Edward Bird ("del" refers to draw in Latin, meaning the artist)
Engraver - William Angus ("sc" short for sculpt means the engraver)
Publisher - John Agg, Broadmead, Bristol
Date on print - November 1, 1808
Dimensions - paper 6.5" x 9.5", image 4.5" x 7", seated in a khaki green mat.
