Each print measures approximately 5 1/2

It is an honor to offer a new selection of prints
from the most curiously whimsical and humorous
collection of prints ever published. Of all of the
natural history publications it is one of the most
endearing. Dedicated to the
Most Illustrious Princess, Charlotte, Queen of Great
Britain, it contains works of such beauty and
originality that it is beloved by all who see it. The
prints are original hand-colored copper plate engravings
on strong soft white Whatman paper, with the occasional Whatman watermark or
date. The prints are more than 210 years old, with the colors
of a beauty and vividness unsurpassed to this day in the
world of hand colored prints.
The Naturalists Miscellany contains 1063 hand colored
prints, almost all being natural history subjects. There
are only four botanical prints in the entire work, five
if you count the turret puff ball. We are exceptionally fortunate to have located these
prints as they have become so very scarce, coming onto
the market so infrequently of late that it is almost
certainly an indicator that there are very few left in
private hands. The condition of the prints is excellent
on the whole, much better than is usually found in this
publication, which was often much thumbed due to its
popularity. On a few, the paper may be slightly
toned and offset, with a very occasional fox mark. Each print measures
approximately 5 1/2 inches by 9 inches. Please
review the photos carefully as they are very accurate.
All our prints are antique prints guaranteed to be the
stated age. These prints are about 215 years old, and it is
now alas a rarity to have such a selection.
