About the Item

Bruyn, Abraham de (after). Court wrestlers of the Sultan of Turkey-dressed for outdoors, resting and fighting. 1577. Engraving on hand made laid paper, 10 5/8 x 6 7/8 inches (268 x 174 mm), full magins. Examination under a black light reveals repairs to the left, top & bottom sheet edges, as well as the removal of an inscription in ink which once appeared in the top-right margin. All repairs are outside of the image area and are expertly prepared with the use of archival materials. On the verso some yellowing appears in the area of the edge repairs. The sheet has been cleaned and flattened by expert hands in a conservation setting. Likely printed 18th century, before the edition printed in 1904 with text in French. A counter print in reverse after an image from de Bruyn's 1577 opus, Omnium Poene Gentium Imagines.
