Description: Method of payment RARE 1809 Copper Plate Portrait Prints SUBJECT/TOPIC: Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Important Note about condition: Each print is spot-glued (in two spots - top and bottom) to the album page in which it was mounted more than 160 years ago. The print does not lie perfectly flat due to the laid paper and its attachment to the backing. As a result, the picture can cause areas of shading to appear, which are not really there. However, these prints do have occasional foxing and other faults. These are very rare 210+ year old copper plate print images of famous individuals rarely seen in portraits and well worth consideration. Prints are priced to sell as a great piece of two centuries+ year old history. I don't use the word "rare" often, but it does apply to these engravings. Each print is a really nice copper plate print on medium-weight laid paper. The literary work in which it was originally published is quite rare and an example was offered in Sotheby's Manuscript Auction in 2003. The individual portraits are very sharp and highly detailed. Represented are the most important men and from all nations of the world who shaped pre-1800 history (from ancient times to the later 1700s) , many of whom are rarely available in portrait form. This print(s) is one removed by someone c1910 from their original volumes and placed in an album. I have seen only a few of these prints in European antiquarian print shops, selling at prices in excess of $25 each. Please visit my store for other prints from this series. I will be adding only a few of these each month to my store.

Prior to this, virtually all prints (and engravings) were produced as illustrations to be included in a manuscript, book, newspaper, or pamphlet. Therefore, a vast majority of original prints have been over the years removed from these original sources. Prints are produced using many different techniques: relief printing (woodcut & wood engraving), intaglio printing (steel & copper plate engraving, drypoint, aquatint, etc), and planographic printing (lithography, serigraphy, inkjet, laser, etc.). While the commercial value of a print depends on such factors as age, rarity, and condition, the real value of a print is its tie to its history and/or its esthetic beauty.
