Frontis Piece King Philip Nude Muscular River God Spain 1715 antique print

Les Delices de L'Espagne et du Portugal

(Spain, Cherubs, Nude Muscular Man, Portait of King Philip, Frontis Piece)

Issued 1715, Leiden, Holland, by Van der Aa

Fascinating antique engraved print.

Issued on handmade paper which shows signs of age but is still supple and well preserved.

In Good [or better] condition: Sheet shows signs of age which should be visible in the scan. This includes mostly scattered spotting, soiling and foxing; still the engraving overall remains quite attractive and would look great displayed.

A picture is worth a thousand words. The zoomable scan is a major part of the item description. Please examine closely, as what you see is what we will send you. [note: we grade conservatively and always seek to disclose any noteworthy flaws.]

Great image entirely worthy of an album, gift-giving or hanging for display. A depiction captured in a manner entirely unique to this era.

Original fold line as issued.

Sheet measures c.  6 3/8" H x  6 3/4" W.

Printed area measures c. 5" H x  6 1/4" W
