Original page from \"Frank Leslie\'s Illustrite Zeitung\", a German language newspaper published in New York city from 1857 to1894. The image depicts Léon Gambetta, a French statesman of the Third Republic, with others escaping aboard balloons from a besieged Paris in October 1870.

Lithograph of an engraving on very light paper, sheet size is 14 x 11 inches.
Gold colored metal frame is 18 1/2 x 13 1/2, with matting and glass.
The printed page is backed by, but not mounted to, a heavy folio page for support.
The reverse has text in German, in a difficult to read Gothic font.
In very good condition overall, with toning expected of 153 year old paper but no stains or water damage.
Paper is very brittle and has some chips missing along edges.
Unfortunately it was stored folded resulting in a tear running nearly top to bottom, which has been repaired on the reverse.
Please see photos.
