Size of each leaf with the original copper engravings: Varies somewhat from engraving to engraving, since they are untrimmed, but the average is ca. 8” x 5” (205 mm x 125 mm).

Condition: These wide-margined, untrimmed engravings are on hand-made, water-marked paper in very good condition with minor evidence of aging, slight soiling or spotting, some original paper flaws or impurities, some "plate dirt," edge flaws, etc. We will mention flaws that cannot be seen on the photograph.

Please note: We never treat our prints with chemicals to enhance their appearance. Therefore, you can be confident that this engraving will not deteriorate beyond the normal aging process..

Pictured: The leaves for sale and a representative title page.
