Spanish conquistador Hernando Cortes & French Actress La Clairon -1809- 1809

Description: Method of payment RARE 1809 Copper Plate Portrait Prints SUBJECT/TOPIC: Normal Important Note about condition: Each print is spot-glued (in two spots - top and bottom) to the album page it was mounted more than 150 years ago. The print does not lie perfectly flat due to its attachment to the backing. As a result, the picture can cause areas of shading to appear, which are not really there. However, these prints do have occasional foxing and other faults. These are very rare 215+ year old copper plate print images of famous individuals rarely seen in portraits. Prints are priced to sell as a great piece of 215+ year old history. Each print is a really nice copper plate print on medium-weight laid paper. The literary work in which it was originally published is quite rare and an example was offered in Sotheby's Manuscript Auction in 2003. The individual portraits are very sharp and highly detailed. Represented are the most important men and from all nations of the world who shaped pre-1800 history (from ancient times to the later 1700s) , many of whom are rarely available in portrait form. This print(s) is one removed by someone c1910 from their original volumes and placed in an album. I have seen only a few of these prints in European antiquarian print shops, selling at prices in excess of $25 each. Please visit my store for other prints from this series.
