Description

Vintage 1983 Edward Detmold Lithographs, Fabres Book of Insects, Pl 67-8

Two wonderful illustrations from Edward J. Detmold, gleaned from a damaged 1983 reference book on children's book illustrations.

Both insect prints were included in the 1921 volume 'Fabre's Book Of Insects' and the captions read ~

'The Sacred Beetle. Sometimes the Scarab seems to enter into partnership with a friend.'

'The Cicada. In July, when most of the insects in my sunny country are parched with thirst, the Cicada remains perfectly cheerful.'

The heavy, 2-sided paper measures 8.25" x 11" (21x28 cm) and both prints are enormously frame-worthy. There are no tears, folds, creases, or marks.

Lovely to frame, perfect for your collage work, your altered art.

You are purchasing an original 1983 paper and it does not have watermarks. I'll send this to you flat, protected, and by USPS 1st Class mail.
