A fine 18th Century engraving showing the philosophers Democritus and Protagoras. Democritus standing before Protagoras, looking down at him with outstretched arms, hailing him as a philosopher on seeing him bind a bundle of twigs, thereby making them stronger than a single stick would have been, while Protagoras looks up, holding the bundle on a rock and leaning on it with his left knee to keep them together. This is a plate from the "Houghton Gallery" volumes. There is an inscription at the lower edge in plate with the Houghton coat of arms, the publisher's details, date and the artist's names. On laid.
Condition
The condition is typical for a picture of this age including some discolouration and heavy foxing. The original plate lines are intact.
