Item Details
Description
14 3/4" by 11 3/4" matted. Hand colored. Ternate Kingfisher from Histoire naturelle Des Oiseaux or the Natural History of Birds. Francois Nicolas Martinet engraved illustrations of birds for books by some of the most influential ornithologist in 18th-century France. This edition, containing 1,008 images by Martinet, was certainly the most ambitious and comprehensive bird book, which had appeared at the time of it publication. Martinet completed both the original drawings and hand-engraved all of the copperplates.
