About This Item
Amsterdam:: for the widow of Joannes van Someren, 1682. Four engraved plates which were used to illustrate Tavernier's 'Les Six Voyages'. Each is loosely attached to a paper backing sheet. Slight darkening and with foxing, but overall are in good condition. The plates include a wizard bringing a small tree to life; a frantic fakir stabbing 13 Dutch sailors to death; a King waiting with bow and arrow, ready to kill a tied up Englishman; and an unlabelled plate, which shows thieves being bricked up in punishment; although strangely, one has been given his pipe to smoke! 170 x 140 mm (6¾ x 5½ inches). Quatre planches gravées qui ont servi à illustrer Les Six Voyages de Tavernier. Chacun est attaché de manière lâche à une feuille de support en papier. Légères assombrissements et rousseurs, mais l'ensemble est en bon état. Les plaques comprennent un sorcier donnant vie à un petit arbre ; un fakir frénétique poignardant à mort 13 marins hollandais ; un roi attendant avec un arc et des flèches, prêt à tuer un Anglais ligoté ; et une plaque sans étiquette, qui montre des voleurs en train de se faire punir ; bien qu'étrangement, on ait donné sa pipe à fumer ! 170 x 140 mm
