Maluku Islands Indonesia Harbor View Ship 1683 Mallet engraved miniature print

Gammalamme.

(Old Prints, 17th Century Prints, Mallet Prints, Asia, Pacific Islands, Indonesia, Maluku, City View, Harbor View, Sailing Ship).

Issued 1683, Paris, for A.M. Mallet. 

Charming 17th century copper engraved view with lovely 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.
