Beschreibung

Spatule couleur de rose. A rose coloured Spoonbill. 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: 12.50" 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 in two places where it would have been folded in the book. There are two fainter creases to the right of these folds and another faint crease to the right hand side of the image. The paper on which the image is printed is not evenly shaped. This is in consequence of its manufacture, not because it has been cut. The engraved part of the image overlaps the edge of the paper very slightly. This would not however present a problem were the image to be mounted for framing. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 001033
