Collection of 3 Large Falcon etchings printed in 1772. Overall page size is 12.5"x17.75." Etching is 11" by 7." Original plate from "Collection d'oiseaux les plus rares." Paris: L.C. Desnos. By: Jonston, John and Nicolas Robert. These beautiful etchings depict a total of 21 birds of prey from an 18th-century reissue of a 17th-century natural history work. The etchings depict birds regally perched on branches, while others are shown clutching their prey that they have just captured. One bird holds a snake in their beak, another a frog and one holds a small rodent, while two clutch smaller birds in their talons. Three of the birds have bells attached to their legs. The artist, Nicolas Robert, was a French draftsman and printmaker and was appointed painter to the French King, Louis XIV in 1664. His 700 original natural history paintings form the core of the world-renowned collection of natural history studies at the Musée National d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris. Overall in very good condition.
