Description: British Parliament 1925 Vintage Lithograph Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE This original engraving is over 180 years old • Approx. 5” x 9 • and is a copper-plate engraving from Oliver Goldsmith's (1728-1774) A History of the Earth and Animated Nature. The first edition (in eight volumes) appeared in London in 1774. The work sought to draw together virtually all that was known about the planet earth, its plants and animals, and even its human inhabitants described from a biological perspective. Goldsmith had intended to translate Pliny's Natural History, but after reading Buffon, he decided that "the best imitation of the ancients was to write from our own feelings and to imitate nature." Goldsmith's Animated Nature went through over twenty editions into the Victorian era and served as a popular source of information about the natural world. Fortunately Some Pages Were Saved with the Plates, so At Least One Original Descriptive Text Page will be Included (but not a complete article) Great Piece of History - Perfect for framing Size: This antique print is approx. 5" x 9" and blank on reverse side. Condition: Excellent - Very Good - Good - Fair - Poor (but of historical interest)Moderate tanning of engraving; Light spotting and wear- Priced Accordingly << Click Here to See Other Natural History Prints >> Important: P/H is combined on multiple items that can be mailed together.

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.
