Martinet Pigeons - Set of 2
A beautiful pair of hand-coloured copperplate bird engravings from Histoire Naturelle des Oiseaux, published in Paris by the Imprimerie Royale between 1770 and 1786 for Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon.
The engravings are by François-Nicolas Martinet (1725–1804), one of the foremost bird artists and engravers of the 18th century and an artist to the French Court. His ornithological work is admired for its elegant composition, fine detail and careful observation of individual species.
The pair is presented in bespoke bamboo frames with tonal mounts and UV70 glass, offering a degree of protection from the damaging effects of sunlight while reducing reflection and allowing the colour and detail of the engravings to remain vivid.
