Title: Set of Three Hand-Colored Equestrian Engravings, circa 1727 Description: A decorative set of three antique hand-colored equestrian engravings showing riders on horseback in classical 18th-century manège poses. The plates are titled Le Courageux, Le Loyal, and L’Esperance, each depicting a finely dressed rider guiding a horse with elegance and control. These prints are from the celebrated equestrian tradition associated with Friedrich Wilhelm Baron d’Eisenberg’s Description du Manège Moderne, published in the early 18th century. The work is known for its refined depictions of classical horsemanship, riding-school movements, and noble equestrian presentation. The hand coloring adds warmth and decorative appeal, with rich tones in the riders’ coats, saddlery, and horses. The prints have an attractive aged surface and strong period character, making them especially suitable for an equestrian interior, library, study, country house, tack room, club room, or classic gallery wall.

Set of 6 Ottoman Costume Prints, Hand-Colored Engravings, 1767 Description: A highly decorative and cohesive set of six original hand-colored engravings depicting figures in Ottoman dress, published in London in 1767 by Thomas Jefferys, Geographer to His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. These prints originate from the important 18th-century publication *A Collection of the Dresses of Different Nations, Ancient and Modern*, a work that reflects Europe’s growing fascination with global cultures and costume traditions. The engravings are based on designs after notable artists such as Holbein, Van Dyke, and Hollar, and combine ethnographic interest with refined decorative appeal. Each engraving presents a full-length figure in traditional Ottoman attire, rendered with clarity and elegance against a clean background. The garments—flowing robes, layered textiles, and distinctive headwear—are highlighted through delicate and well-preserved hand coloring. The set includes the following figures: Habit of the Greek Sultana, 1749 Habit of the White Sultana, 1749 Habit of the Black Sultana, 1749 Habit of a Turkish Lady of the Grand Seignior’s Seraglio, 1568 Habit of the Janesary Aga, or Chief Commandant of the Janissaries Habit of the Tchorbadgi, or Captain of the Janissaries, 1700 This grouping forms a harmonious and balanced composition, particularly suitable for a symmetrical wall display. With a consistent scale and palette, the set offers a refined decorative presence while retaining strong historical character. Such costume engravings are increasingly valued for their versatility in interior design, bridging 18th-century craftsmanship with contemporary decorative aesthetics. Interior mockups shown are for inspiration only. All prints are original antiques, not reproductions, and are sold unframed. Condition: Very good condition overall. Light age toning as expected. Occasional minor spotting in the margins. Strong impressions with original hand color. Plate marks visible.
