4 hand coloured lithograph from Le Dictionnaire Pittoresque d’Histoire Naturelle by Felix- Edouard and Querin-Meneville featuring various kinds of pine cone.
Engraved by Adolph Fries and Du Carre.
Date: 1838.
Size: 28.5 x 18cms or 11 3/8 x 7 inches. There is an additional centimetre of paper on the right hand side of the prints (one with a black line through it) that I have left in place since it might be useful if they are to be framed.
Condition: Near Fine. There are a few marks across the surface of the four prints that have to do with age; the edges are slightly browned, there is some light foxing.. They are otherwise clean and fresh. Short tears on the edges of the paper have been repaired from the reverse side using archival tape. There are small holes on one side of the prints where tread once passed through.
