RARE PARIS COSTUMES VIEW OF PARIS 1729

PARIS

£350

Very rare copper engraving of French costumes at the end of the seventeeth century with view of Paris in background.

The engraving was printed for Van Der Aa's 'Galerie Agreable du Monde'1730.

There were only about 100 copies printed of this monumental work.

Very strong impression. Interesting cable border.

Uncoloured as issued

A beautiful view in mint condition

The Galérie agréable du monde, was completed in 1729, and comprised 66 parts, bound in 27 volumes. Van der Aa presented it as a good investment; after publication, the antiquarian value of the work would double, the more so since it was printed in a limited edition of only one hundred copies.

From: La Galérie Agréable du Monde Leiden, 1729. (Koeman I, Aa9)
