Engraved birds plate (etching) cut off from an old Italian ornithology book after Buffon illustrated by Italian engravers and published around 1820. Beautifully detailed original hand colouring. Throughout the XIXth century edtions of the famous Histoire naturelle from Buffon were published in various languages and colored and engraved by various local artists.

This authentic engraved bird plate is hand coloured and printed on period paper which shows signs of age, but still retains its flexibility and soundness. Margins have been irregularly cut but the plate retains its original framing line. Colours are still vivid. This printed plate is an interesting original artifact from an era long past. The birds depicted are the following (Tavola 109):

  1. Il Caurale
  2. La Folaga Grande
  3. La Folaga Grande di Cajenna

Old plates are highly decorative and make a very original and sophisticated gift. Would look gorgeous when framed alone or with other birds plates also found in this store.

This engraved bird plate is more than one century old, so some signs of aging should be expected: some minimal age related toning and some foxing or spotting. Still, it is rather well preserved given the age.

Dimensions:

Inside frame 9,5 x 16,5 cm; overall surface 12 x 22,2 cm

État/Condition:

 

In fair condition, lightly age-toned, scattered spotting mainly on the left outside the frame. Overall in fair condition and worth framing. Look carefully at the pictures.
