Habitants des Isles de la Sonde.

(Old Prints, 17th Century Prints, Asia, Southeast Asia, Malaysia, Sunda Islands, Ethnic Views, Costume Prints).

Issued 1683, Paris, for A.M. Mallet. 

Charming 17th century copper engraved ethnic print with lovely hand color.

The image has a near folk-art feel, a style unique to this historical era. Utterly unlike anything produced today and of modern aesthetic appeal for this reason.

Mostly clean and well preserved example, the image displays a fine patina.

Sheet measures c. 7 7/8" H x 5 7/8" W.

Printed area measures c. 5 1/2" H x 4" W.
