About the Item

Antique print of a camel and a dromedary. This print originates from 'Historiae Naturalis (..)' by John Johnston, published by Matthias Merian in 1657. Artists and Engravers: John Johnston (or Johnstone, 1603-1675) was a descendant of a Scottish family. Born in Sambter, Poland, he studied extensively at the famous universities of the day, including St. Andrews, Scotland, Cambridge & Leiden. After many years traveling in Europe, he settled in Silesia. Matthaus Merian was a leading German engraver of the day, from a prominent family of engravers and artists, and the father of Maria Merian. Condition: Fair/good, age-related toning. A few stains, slightly affecting image. Minor wear, blank verso. Please study image carefully. Date: 1657 Overall size: 21 x 36 cm. Image size: 14 x 28 cm. Antique prints have long been appreciated for both their aesthetic and investment value. They were the product of engraved, etched or lithographed plates. These plates were handmade out of wood or metal, which required an incredible level of skill, patience and craftsmanship. Whether you have a house with Victorian furniture or more contemporary decor an old engraving can enhance your living space. We offer a wide range of authentic antique prints for any budget.
