Ottomanorum Principum Effigies – Complete Ottoman Rulers Table, Rome c.1700 This impressive and complete multi-sheet engraving set titled “Ottomanorum Principum Effigies” presents a learned dynastic overview of the Ottoman rulers, conceived as a single monumental composition rather than as independent portraits. Engraved in Rome around 1700, the series was designed for assembly into a large rectangular genealogical table, following the architectural framework and paired medallion structure visible across the sheets. The set traces the Ottoman dynasty from its founder, Osman I, through successive sultans to the reigning rulers of the early eighteenth century. Each medallion contains a finely engraved portrait accompanied by a Latin historical summary, reflecting the European scholarly tradition of universal history and comparative imperial studies. Several medallions intentionally remain blank, an original and significant feature indicating that the table was conceived as an open-ended genealogy, allowing for future rulers to be added. Their presence confirms completeness rather than loss. The engravings are executed with refined burin work, dense concentric backgrounds, and architectural framing characteristic of Roman engraving at the turn of the eighteenth century. The composition closely relates to contemporary genealogical tables of emperors, popes, and royal houses produced for an international learned audience. The sheets are printed on high-quality Italian laid paper bearing the watermark of Pietro Meliani of Fabriano, one of the most important papermakers of the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. Fabriano paper was widely favored by Roman engravers for its durability, clarity of impression, and prestige, and the presence of this watermark further supports the Roman origin and period of the set. When assembled as intended, the sheets form a visually powerful rectangular wall table, equally suited to a library, study, or institutional collection. Surviving complete sets of this series are scarce; most examples encountered on the market are fragmentary or broken up into individual sheets. Offered here is a full, intact set as issued, making it a strong object for collectors of Ottoman history, early modern genealogy, or large-scale historical prints with both intellectual and decorative authority. Condition report: Complete six-sheet set. Overall good, honest condition. Light age toning, scattered staining and watermarks, mainly in margins. Plates clean and well printed. No losses to engraved image areas. Blank medallions original to the design.

Chinese Noble with Attendant and Child, Hand-Coloured Ferrario Costume Plate 1815 A refined early nineteenth-century hand-coloured copperplate engraving depicting a Chinese noble figure accompanied by an attendant and child, originating from Giulio Ferrario’s monumental ethnographic publication *Il Costume Antico e Moderno di Tutti i Popoli* (Costumes Ancient and Modern of All Peoples), published in Milan around 1815. This influential work represents one of the most ambitious illustrated surveys of global cultures produced during the Enlightenment period, combining artistic refinement with documentary curiosity about the wider world. The composition presents a dignified standing figure dressed in an elaborately patterned robe, holding a fan while accompanied by a servant carrying a parasol overhead — a visual symbol of rank and status within traditional Chinese society. The presence of a child adds narrative warmth and suggests familial or social context, transforming the plate from a purely ethnographic study into a lively human scene. The costumes are rendered with careful attention to textile patterns, colour contrasts, and silhouette, reflecting the European fascination with Chinese dress and ceremonial customs during the era of expanding trade and cultural exchange. Executed in precise engraved line and enhanced with delicate contemporary hand-colouring, the plate demonstrates the clarity and balance characteristic of early nineteenth-century Italian printmaking. Ferrario’s publication sought to educate European audiences through visual representations of different cultures, blending scholarly intent with decorative appeal. Today, such prints are valued both for their historical insight and for their aesthetic qualities, particularly within collections focused on Asian art, costume history, or early ethnographic illustration. The vertical format and harmonious palette make this engraving especially attractive for interior design settings. Framed individually, it serves as an elegant focal point; alternatively, it pairs well with other Ferrario Chinese costume plates to create a cohesive gallery wall in luxury interiors. Condition: Good antique condition consistent with age. Light age toning and minor handling marks to margins; plate impression visible. Colours remain fresh. Original embossed blind stamp visible, as issued, with possible light overlap into the image area. Framing tips: Dark walnut or ebonized frame with a wide ivory mat enhances the subtle colouring and provides a museum-quality presentation suited to refined interiors. Technique: Hand-coloured copperplate engraving Maker: Giulio Ferrario publication, Milan (Italy), circa 1815 Keywords: Chinese costume engraving, Ferrario costume print, Il Costume Antico e Moderno, antique China...
