Genuine Antique Print

1770 circa

Maker: Francois Nicolas Martinet

Antique print of birds from South America and Asia by Francois Nicolas Martinet published in Planches Enluminées D'Histoire Naturelle, to accompany Buffon's Histoire des Oiseaux, circa 1770. Martinet worked with a team of people to create this encyclopedic book on ornithology, which took years to complete. It was originally issued in 42 cahiers of 24 hand-colored plates each, with no accompanying text or titles, resulting in 1008 plates. The book included carefully detailed prints of birds from around the world. Original hand-coloring. Very good condition with some minor waviness/wrinkles in the antique paper. Copper plate print on laid paper. Measures approx. 8.75 x 7 inches to the outer border.
