See the suite of

Engravings on laid paper.
Size: (average sheet) 13.8
x 10.8 cm; (average dia. plate) 7.5 cm; (average dia. image borderline) 7.2 cm.
Condition: well-printed
impressions with margins around the platemark. The sheets are in good condition
for their considerable age, nevertheless there are a few fleck stains (e.g. “The
Fall of Man” has several spots at the left edge of the sheet) and “The First
Prohibition” has a flattened printer’s crease in the lower margin.
I am selling this complete
set of six very beautifully executed engravings from the history of Adam and
Eve, for AU$672 in total for the set (currently US$470.29/EUR411.46/GBP374.18 at
the time of posting this listing) including postage and handling to anywhere in
the world (but not, of course, any import duties/taxes imposed by some
countries).
If you are interested in
purchasing this rare set of engravings, please contact me
(oz_jim@printsandprinciples.com) and I will send you a PayPal invoice to make
the payment easy.
