(Old Prints, Mallet Prints, Astronomy, Sun, Earth, Eclipse, Diagrams, Shapes).

Issued 1719, Frankfurt, for A.M. Mallet. 

Charming 18th century copper engraved print with lovely hand color. A superior visual example with wonderful hand coloring which greatly enhances the eye appeal.

Note the four moon and sun faces and the tiny people standing on the edges of the earth.

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 pleasing age patina.

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

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