Turbot DF46 $95

We are currently offering a selection of prints from Edward Donovans great work on fishes, published in 1802-1808. These are prized for the artistry and composition of each print, and the beauty and intensity of the fine hand coloring. These fish prints are particularly renowned for the lavish use of genuine silver & gold, which makes the fish shimmer with that very iridescent quality of a fish just caught.  Of all of the fish prints, including the Bloch, these are our very favourite for this lovely silver coloring that captures each fish more closely than any other work. This effect is not visible in the photos, alas, but buyers can be sure that the silver paint has been used on any silver or gray fish. Each single print measures approximately 9 1/4 inches wide by 5 1/2 inches long.

The condition of these prints is good to excellent, depending on the print. The paper is a beautiful cream and the sheer beauty of the hand coloring is stunning. There is little or no foxing, with characteristic strong plate marks on Whatman paper, some bearing the1794 Whatman watermark.  The photos are very accurate, so please review carefully. All our prints are authentic hand colored antique prints, and the Donovans are about 200 years old.
