Single leaf. Light dampstain at very top edge, very minor edge wear, no affect. Fine impression, illustrates Turk cutting his arm to show his love to his lover, a Turk child before circumcision, and Turkish dancers, male and female. Bernard Picart (1673-1733), son of the famous engraver Etienne Picart and a very good engraver himself, although born at Paris into Catholicism, converted to the Reformed faith and so, in search of freedom of worship, moved to Holland in 1710. This work is one the most famous illustrated histories of religion of its period. The plates were often copied but none are as fine as the originals.
