About this Item

Petit Rale d'eau ou Marouett. Rale de Genet ou Roi de Cailles. 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: 13.50" x 10". Size of image: 11.25" x 9.25". 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 in two places where it would have been folded in the book. There is a faint shadow of the main image on the surround to the left of the image. This shows faintly on the left part of the image itself. Seller Inventory # 001034
