Beribboned medallions: Laurels, Musical Instruments. Louis Crepy

by Crepy - Tissot

Antique print of commemorative medallions on hand-laid paper.

Original copperplate engraving by Étienne Louis Crepy (c.1700-1759). Beautiful medallions with head and obverse, linked by ribbons. Published by Tissot circa 1775. Later soft, faded hand-colouring certainly adds to their appeal.

Size to intaglio impression is 195 x 160mm (7.75 x 6.25 inches). Page size is 305 x 210mm (12 x 8.25 inches).
