Grand Traquet ou Tarier, male. Traquet de l'Isle de Lucon, male. Traquet de l'isle de Lucon, femelle. Traquet de madagascar. Grand Figuier de Madagascar. Various Wheateaters. A Madagascan Figuier. An original hand-coloured copper plate engraving. Drawn and engraved by Francois-Nicolas Martinet (1760-1800). From The Ornithologia, sive synopsis methodica by Mathurin Jaques Brisson of 1760. Signed in the plate lower left. Size of sheet: 14.25" x 10". Size of image: 11.25" x 9.25". Francois-Nicolas Martinet was a French engineer, engraver and naturalist. He engraved plates for numerous works on natural history but he specialized in ornithology. Most notable are these produced for The Ornithologia. Condition: Fine. The engraving is exceptionally clean and fresh. It is marked where it would have been folded in the book with one crease to the center and secondary crease to the left. A faint shadow of the main image, a transfer, shows on the surround to the left of the print, and also at one point on the image itself. The image is printed on the paper such that the engraved part of the image only just fits onto the sheet. Were the image framed this discrepancy would not show. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 001026
