Man- compared in a series of 4 different engravings

(Tribal, African, Eastern, Middle Eastern)

Attractive, interesting and very uncommon series of four original old engraved prints. Sold as a lot.
A total of 80 different racial/ ethnic types are depicted, including an endless and fascinating array of head wear, decorations, ornamentation including body tattoos, clothing, etc.

Issued 1873, Glascow by Blackie & Son.

Each is an actual antique/ vintage printed sheet of paper, not a modern copy or reprint of an old print. The sheets could show signs of age difficult to capture digitally, but if we are offering it for sale you can be 100% certain it is entirely worthy of ownership by even the most discerning collector or dealer.

A picture is worth a thousand words. The scan is a major part of the item description. Please examine it closely, as what you see is what we will send you.

[note: we grade conservatively and always seek to disclose any noteworthy flaws.].

Each sheet remains well preserved, keeping in mind it is not modern or new, so minor flaws to paper are sometimes to be expected. Some light age wear or surface spotting/ soiling, all of which is hopefully visible within the zoomable scan.

Paper and image remains overall clean & sound. Old maps & prints often display small minor repairs on the back, could have uneven blank margins, might have extraneous fold-lines or other small minor age flaws which do not detract from the visual appeal or value. Condition is carefully considered in arriving at our price.

Attractive and appealing old vintage group of antique prints entirely worthy of hanging for display.

A style and manner of depiction entirely unique to this era.

Each sheet measures c.  9 5/8" H x  6 1/8" W.

Each printed area measures c. 8 1/4" H x  5" W
