Description

This hand-colored engraving comes from "Histoire Naturelle Des Oiseaux," a famous set of volumes edited by Georges Louis Leclerc, le comte de Buffon (1707-1788). The book was published with hand-coloured plates engraved by Martinet, and became an independent set published (1771-86). Signed in plate. On laid paper.

Condition

The condition is typical for a picture of this age including some discolouration and foxing. There is creasing to the paper and creasing around the plate line. Some small tears to the left hand side of the paper where it appears to have been torn from a book.
