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. One has a piece of paper missing at the top. This is a flaw of manufacture. One has some grubby staining along the bottom edge. One is creased at the top right hand corner. The images are not printed squarely on the paper surround.
A smart decorative set. Ideal for framing.
