This is not an original piece, it was a practice to learn intaglio in high school, this was my first zink plate. Approximate date was between 1974-1978. I don't have an attribution to provide here. According to my web search this is a public domain photo of a 49er in the American River in California from the 1850s.

I still have the zink plate and this is the only surviving print from it that I am aware of. That makes this print one of a kind. Since I don't own a print press or a fume head its not likely I will be printing any more in the future.
