Six original engravings of starfish.
French origin.
From The Encyclopedique of M. L’Abbe Bonnaterre published in 1790.
Engraved by Bernard Direxit.
Black images on off-white hand-made deckle edged paper.
Size: 23 x 16 cms or 12 1/2 x 9 1/4 inches.
Condition: Very Good. The engravings are in excellent condition given their age. There are a few faint spots of foxing across the surface and other occasional marks usually at the edges of the paper. One has a crease about half way down the right hand edge. This is a fault of paper manufacture. The images are not printed squarely on the paper surround.
A smart decorative set. Ideal for framing.
