Isis nobilis ESC8 $135
Each print measures approximately 8 1/4 inches by 10 1/4 inches

We are enchanted with these beautiful originally hand coloured coral prints from a fragment of one of the earliest works on corals Die Pflanzenthiere in Ubbildungen nach der Natur by Eugenius Johann Christoph Esper, published in Nuremberg 1791.

It is one of the rarest of all the coral works in the world, with only a few known copies in the hands of libraries. There is no other coral work of such completeness with original hand colouring from the 1700's. Please note, these prints are from a couple of broken volumes, not complete at all.  As such, it represents an extraordinary opportunity for the collector of such rarities.

Each print is on fine, creamy white, hand made chain lined paper measuring approximately 8 1/4 inches by 10 1/4 inches. There is no descriptive text, but a copy of the title page will accompany these authentic antique prints with original hand coloring. Each print is a dynamic portrayal of a species of coral, realistically capturing the plant as it would be in the ocean, with the vibrant original hand coloring enhancing the effect.
