Two unusual late 18th Century French copper engravings of a ram and sheep.
The prints were not published in book form but presumably as separate engravings in a portfolio, perhaps illustrating different breeds of sheep and livestock of the time. They are fantastic examples of detailed copper engravings and very rare.
Published by ‘The Bibliotique’.
