Description: About this listing - This listing is for the Maund print(s) pictured. Because every monitor displays differently, expect that there will be some variance between what you see on the monitor and how the prints will look in your hands. The images of the prints posted on this listing are as representative of the actual print as I could make them. These prints are in good condition over all. Some foxing, toning, and offset may visible. All prints in this listing are authentic hand colored antique prints, and are around 168 years old. Print is in good condition on lightly toned to toned paper. Because the print is an antique you can expect some imperfections due to age and handling. Please review the image carefully to assess condition. About the Author & Work - In 1825 Benjamin Maund started the publication of a new periodical, The Botanic Garden. His desire, in the spirit so very true to the era, was to create a work combining accurate scientific instruction with an occasional appeal to the imagination and to the moral and religious feelings. He published a series of 13 volumes, from 1825-1851. The plates are finely hand colored and unusual in that four plants are represented on each page. The work is of a precision, beauty and intense color unrivalled in all of botanical illustration. The prints measure approximately 7 inches wide by 9 inches long, and are ORIGINAL HAND COLORED engravings. Condition notes for this listing - Prints are in good condition on lightly toned paper. No descriptive text or title page. About Condition Terms - Toning or Age toning - Toning is the darkening of paper over time. Toning comes in varying degree, from creamy white to very tanned, and is very common in antique prints. Foxing - Foxing is distinct darkening of the paper in small or large spots. Foxing can happen in one fair sized spot or it can be "freckled" all over the paper (and all possible combinations). Offset or Text offset - Offset happens when the print has been in direct contact with a page of text for an extended period of time. Offset can be dark where the ink has smudged or transferred onto the print, or light when the acids in the ink have burned (toned) the facing print. Trimmed - Trimming happens (usually during the binding process) when one or more margins (top, bottom, left or right) is cut down to fit in the selected binding. Unfortunately, trimming can sometimes effect the image area inside the plate mark. Plate Mark - The area that the image occupies. If you look closely at a copper plate engraving you can see the depression where the copper plate was pressed into the paper while the image was being printed, that is the plate mark. Soiling - Any mark on the paper that isn't part of the printing process. Remember, these prints came from a magazine that was later bound into volumes. Sometimes people aren't very careful with books and magazines and often handle them without washing their hands (this may be especially true of botanical magazine that was marketed to, avid, wealthy gardeners). So, there may be actual dirt on the 200ish year old print. Note on Shipping - These prints will be shipped rolled. Rolling is cost effective & non-damaging. Many top tier print dealers roll their prints for shipment. Once your prints arrive, unroll them and put them between two heavy books for a couple of days and they should flatten out beautifully. Alternatively, your framer can press them out.
