I flipped and rotated image so we could get an idea of what it might have looked like on the printed page. Cool find.

Put some flour on it and that will bring out some details. Gives a little contrast.

All of the newspaper ads or articles mentioning the Texas Cotton Press Company online are from 1877-1891. So my guess is that it would be from in that time period.
