A collection of antique French legal documents and other printed items. Also black and white engravings of plants and a bird, a Victorian scrap, greeting cards and trade cards, an antique menu, and a page from a children’s book for use in collage and for other decorative purposes. Some items British, others French.
Most of the papers date from the 1800’s. The largest piece measures 29.5 x 21 cms. There are at least 16 documents in the bundle that are more than a single piece of paper - one being 15 pages long, but most are between four to ten pages of script. Also at least 20 single pages with writing on one or both sides, plus scraps. There are six engraved sheets and 11 other items. The papers are hand made and all different. I have tried to provide a variety of colours and textures to provide interest.
Condition: Very Good. As I hope you can see from the pictures the papers are marked stained, creased, folded and torn as is to be expected given their age. The botanical engravings are quite faint. All of the engravings are quite clean.
