You’re looking at a well preserved original plate from Johann Georg Heck's “Iconographic Encyclopedia of Sciences, Literature and Art” published in 1851 by Rudolphe Garrigue in New York. We were extremely fortunate to acquire the full collection of illustrative prints from the series, which after many months of looking, proved to be very difficult!


The collection we managed to get our hands on, while complete, was stored within 2 ring binders. Fortunately, none of the punched-holes interrupted the artwork in any way, but to better prepare the prints for their new home we have trimmed excess borders, thus removing the unsightly holes and bringing the print to its former (and ever so slightly smaller) glory. Perfect for mounting and framing! Please refer to the image as it will reflect the trimming of the print.
