I recently acquired a vast collection of Antique 19th and 18th Century Book Plates. This Antique print titled 'De Kerck Kopay / De Kerck Poutour / De Kerck Navacouli / De Kerck Chavagatzeri.' Four views of the churches of Kopay, Poutour, Navacouli, Chavagatzeri (Ceylon, Sri Lanka).
This print originates from the work 'Naauwkeurige beschryvinge van Malabar popular en Choromandel', Amsterdam 1672, by the preacher Philippus Baldaeus.
From 'A Collection of Voyages and Travels, some now first printed from original manuscripts others now first printed in English', printed in 1744 for Henry Lintot and John Osborn. Engraving has a price of 55.00 in the lower right hand corner from a previous owner and time. I did not try to remove it, as it shows a detail of history to the print. Perfect for framing, or to incorporate into something new and wonderful.
This piece is very good condition considering the age, with definite signs of age and wear. Toning and browning. Sheet is 2 pages glued together, with some separation at the bottom of the seam. The back is blank. Please Zoom the photos to appreciate all the great details, as well as to best understand overall condition.
Plate (Page as a whole) measures 13.25" x 15.5"
