| commentaire : | Three original copperplate engravings of the Tuilleries Palace of Catharine di Medici. From the 1679 Dutch produced atlas of France 'De Franse Merkurious'. The engravings have excellent impressions with large margins all around. Measurements given are of the plate mark. page size is larger. Light-weight linen-based paper with chain lines and a blank verso. There is an ornate watermark of a tulip flower. One of the views has margins on one that are lightly chipped. and there is a stain. but these are very attractive views in good condition. and are original antique images. guaranteed to be ca 328 years old. The scan of the title page for the atlas is given for a documentary reference -- we own it but it is not included. |
