About this Item

Guillemot. Macareux. Guillemot. Puffin. An original hand-coloured copper plate engraving. Drawn and engraved by Francois-Nicolas Martinet (1760-1800). From The Ornithologia, sive synopsis methodica by Mathurin Jaques Brisson of 1760. Signed in the plate lower left. Size of sheet: 12.50" x 10". Size of image: 9.50" x 8.25". Francois-Nicolas Martinet was a French engineer, engraver and naturalist. He engraved plates for numerous works on natural history but he specialized in ornithology. Most notable are these produced for The Ornithologia. Condition: Fine. The engraving is exceptionally clean and fresh. It is marked where it would have been folded in the book. There is a fainter crease to the left of this fold. There is a faint shadow of the main image on the surround to the left of the image. This does not affect the main image however. There is one black spot, and two spots of foxing to the far right of the sheet. They do not affect the image itself. Seller Inventory # 001042
