Set of Three Antique East Asian Costume & Arms Plates, Ferrario, Milan 1815 This cohesive set of three antique hand-colored plates presents a detailed study of East Asian costume, ceremonial regalia, and arms, published in 1815 as part of Jules Ferrario’s influential series Le Costume Ancien et Moderne, produced in Milan. The series is renowned for its systematic approach to world dress and material culture, and these plates exemplify Ferrario’s intent to document clothing and equipment as distinct objects rather than narrative scenes. Each plate functions as a visual inventory. One focuses on garments and textile elements, illustrating tunics, skirts, and decorative motifs rendered with symbolic embroidery and applied ornament. The second plate concentrates on headgear, insignia, staffs, and ceremonial accessories, emphasizing markers of status and ritual identity. The third plate completes the group with armor, weapons, masks, and protective equipment, introducing a martial dimension while maintaining the same analytical and object-based layout. All three plates share a consistent visual grammar, with finely engraved outlines, restrained hand coloring, numbered elements, and isolated objects set against a neutral ground. When displayed together, they form a balanced and intellectually coherent triptych, progressing from dress to identity and finally to protection and authority. The set reads like a museum vitrine translated into print, offering both decorative appeal and scholarly clarity. As with other plates from the Milan edition of Le Costume Ancien et Moderne, each sheet bears the original embossed blind stamp associated with the series. This dry stamp was applied at the time of publication and serves as an important indicator of authenticity. As issued, the embossing may lightly overlap the image area, a characteristic feature of original examples. The set is offered unframed and is particularly well suited to being displayed together as a single curated group, appealing to collectors of costume prints, scholars of historical dress, and interior designers seeking refined, historically grounded wall compositions. Condition Report: Overall good antique condition. Light age-related toning and minor scattered spotting consistent with early 19th-century paper. Original hand coloring well preserved. Each sheet bears the original embossed blind stamp of the Milan edition, which may lightly overlap the image area as issued. No major tears or restorations observed. Framing Tips: For optimal presentation, frame all three plates uniformly to emphasize their cohesion as a set. Neutral mats in ivory, warm white, or soft stone tones will complement the paper and hand coloring without distraction. Simple frames in dark walnut, ebonized wood, or muted gilt work particularly well and echo the scholarly character of the prints. Hanging the plates in a horizontal row with even spacing creates a refined, museum-style display.

Holy Land Map – Terra Sancta Palestina, Hondius, Hand-Colored Engraving c.1620 This finely engraved and hand-colored original antique map depicts the Holy Land under the title Terra Sancta quae in sacris Terra Promissionis olim Palestina. The map was produced by Jodocus Hondius in Amsterdam around 1620 and represents one of the most influential early 17th-century cartographic interpretations of biblical Palestine. The map is offered unframed, giving flexibility to select a frame that best suits the intended interior. The map presents a detailed sacred geography of the region, encompassing Judaea, Samaria, Galilee, Phoenicia, Idumaea, and Moab, along with the Mediterranean coast and the Dead Sea (Mare Mortuum). Biblical place names and tribal divisions are carefully delineated, reflecting the map’s primary function as a tool for scriptural study and historical reference rather than navigation. Oriented with east at the top, the composition follows long-standing biblical cartographic conventions. Decorative elements include a large and elaborate strapwork title cartouche, a mileage scale, and a textual inset describing the Dead Sea. The Mediterranean is animated with ships and a sea creature, adding visual interest while remaining consistent with early 17th-century map ornamentation. This map belongs to the Hondius tradition of sacred cartography, which built upon earlier Renaissance models while refining engraving quality and decorative clarity. Maps of the Holy Land such as this were widely circulated in atlases and biblical works, appealing to scholars, theologians, and collectors across Europe. The presence of Latin text on the verso confirms its original inclusion in a published atlas. Today, Holy Land maps by Hondius are highly sought after for their historical importance, decorative appeal, and enduring symbolic resonance. This example is particularly attractive due to its strong engraving, early hand coloring, and well-balanced composition, making it suitable for both serious collectors and refined interior display. Short provenance / atlas-context note: This map was engraved by Jodocus Hondius and published in Amsterdam circa 1620. It was issued with Latin text on the verso for inclusion in early 17th-century atlases, reflecting the strong demand for biblical geography during the Dutch Golden Age. Hondius’s Holy Land maps are closely associated with the great atlas tradition that followed Ortelius, and were widely consulted by scholars, theologians, and educated collectors across Europe. Condition report: Good condition overall. Original hand coloring. Noticeable age toning and patina throughout, with light browning and surface wear consistent with age. Minor edge wear and small paper irregularities visible. Latin text on verso. No modern restoration observed. Framing tips: This map benefits from a classic museum-style presentation. A generous soft ivory or parchment-colored mat will complement the aged paper and hand coloring, paired with a dark walnut, ebonized, or lightly gilt frame. UV-protective glazing is recommended to preserve the paper and color.

Lusitanorum Regum Icones – Complete Kings of Portugal Table, Rome c.1700 This complete multi-sheet engraved series titled “Lusitanorum Regum Icones, Ordine Temporum Expositae” presents a learned dynastic overview of the Kings of Portugal, conceived as a single monumental historical table rather than as individual portrait prints. Engraved in Rome around 1700, the sheets were designed to be assembled into a large rectangular composition, following a consistent architectural framework of laurel-wreathed medallions, crowned rulers, and extensive Latin historical texts. The series traces the Portuguese monarchy from its early medieval origins through successive dynasties to the reigning rulers of the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. Each portrait is accompanied by a concise Latin account of the ruler’s reign, situating the individual within a continuous historical narrative. As with other contemporary dynastic tables, several medallions are intentionally left blank, an original feature indicating that the work was conceived as an open-ended genealogy, allowing space for future sovereigns to be added. These blank medallions are integral to the original design and confirm the set’s completeness as issued. The engravings are executed in refined Roman burin technique, with dense concentric background lines, carefully modeled facial features, and rich ornamental foliage framing each portrait. The overall composition belongs to the European scholarly tradition of comparative royal genealogies, produced for an educated international audience interested in history, legitimacy, and the continuity of royal power. Closely related in conception and execution to contemporary tables of emperors and foreign dynasties, this Portuguese series reflects the same intellectual ambition and visual authority. When assembled as intended, the sheets form a visually commanding rectangular wall table, particularly suited to a library, study, or institutional interior. Complete surviving sets are uncommon; most examples encountered today are fragmentary or dispersed. Offered here is a full, intact set as issued, making it an important and decorative historical object for collectors of Iberian history, early modern genealogy, or large-scale engraved wall works. Condition report: Complete multi-sheet set. Overall good condition with light age toning and occasional staining, primarily in the margins. Plates well printed with clear impressions. No losses to engraved image areas. Blank medallions original to the design. Framing tips: Can be framed as a single reconstructed rectangular composition for strong visual impact, or as aligned sheets in a grid. Particularly effective with wide light mounts and a dark or gilt wood frame in a classical library or study setting.

English Moths on Oak – Hand-Colored Insect Engraving, Eleazar Albin 1720 This hand-colored copper engraving was published in London in 1720 as part of A Natural History of English Insects by Eleazar Albin, one of the earliest systematic studies of British entomology. The plate illustrates moths and caterpillars shown at different stages of development, arranged around oak foliage. Albin’s method of depicting insects in direct association with their host plants was highly innovative and reflects careful field observation. The plate is dedicated “To the Right Noble The Marquis of Tullibardine,” a Scottish nobleman and member of the powerful Murray family. Such dedications reflect the aristocratic patronage that supported scientific publishing in early 18th-century Britain. The insects shown are moths and larvae associated with oak trees, likely early observations of oak-feeding species within the geometrid and noctuid families. The host plant depicted is oak (Quercus). The balanced composition, restrained coloring, and generous negative space give the engraving a refined decorative quality. This is an original 18th-century engraving with original hand coloring, not a later reproduction. Condition Light to moderate, even age-related toning consistent with early 18th-century paper. Minor edge wear from original binding. Original hand coloring remains well preserved. Framing tips Frame in dark walnut or ebonized wood with a generous ivory or soft cream mat to complement the aged paper. For a lighter interior, pale oak or natural wood with a museum-white mat works beautifully. UV-protective glazing is recommended. Sold unframed.

English Moths on Oak & Elm – Hand-Colored Entomology Engraving, Albin 1720 This finely hand-colored copper engraving was published in London in 1720 as part of A Natural History of English Insects, the landmark entomological work by Eleazar Albin. The composition depicts moths and caterpillars shown in successive stages of development, carefully arranged around oak and elm branches. Albin’s practice of illustrating insects in direct relation to their host plants was innovative for its time and places this work among the earliest systematic studies of English insects. The plate is dedicated “To the Right Honorable The Lady Arthur Somerset,” following early 18th-century aristocratic convention. Lady Arthur Somerset was the wife of Lord Arthur Somerset, a British courtier and member of one of England’s most prominent noble families. Such dedications reflect the strong connection between scientific publishing and aristocratic patronage in Georgian England. The insects shown are moths and caterpillars associated with deciduous woodland trees, likely including oak-feeding and elm-feeding moth species commonly observed in England. The plants depicted are oak (Quercus) and elm (Ulmus), rendered with botanical clarity and decorative balance. The restrained palette of greens and soft neutrals, combined with the natural symmetry of the layout, gives the engraving strong visual appeal beyond its scientific importance. Printed on early 18th-century paper and finished with original hand coloring applied under Albin’s supervision, this engraving is an authentic period work, not a later reproduction. It functions equally well as a collector’s piece of early natural history and as a refined decorative artwork suited to classic or contemporary interiors. Condition: Light to moderate, even age-related toning consistent with early 18th-century paper. Minor edge wear from original binding. Original hand coloring remains clear and well preserved. Framing tips: For a classic interior, frame in dark walnut or ebonized wood with a generous ivory or soft cream mat to complement the aged paper tone. For a lighter, contemporary look, a pale oak or natural wood frame with a museum-white mat works beautifully. UV-protective glazing is recommended to preserve the original hand coloring. These engravings are sold unframed, allowing full flexibility for custom presentation.
