Aurangzeb Mughal Emperor Ruler Asia Throne Room Dog Costume 1683 Mallet print

Le Grand Mogol.

(Asia, India, Mughal Empire, Mughal Emperor, Costume Print, Pet Dog, Throne Room).

Issued 1683, Paris, for A.M. Mallet. 

Charming 17th century copper engraved view with lovely detailed hand color.

The image has a near folk-art feel, a style unique to this historical era. Utterly unlike anything produced today and of modern aesthetic appeal for this reason.

Mostly clean and well preserved example, the image displays a fine patina.

Sheet measures c. 7 7/8" H x 5 7/8" W.

Printed area measures c. 5 1/2" H x 4" W.
