Hand-colored West Indies lithographs, 1856

THIS JUST IN: Beautiful hand-colored lithographs published in Copenhagen in 1856. We have five of them, of different West Indies scenes. Each is in double-matted and framed to preserve the related text. They are in fine condition. The image above is distorted because of the wide-angle lens. Images below are cropped to show the scene better.
