Antique 1850 Tallis Scriptures Victorian Natural History Engraving Featuring the Llama

Here is a finely detailed, hand colored Victorian engraving gleaned from the 1850 folio edition of Tallis' Scripture Natural History For Youth and features "The Llama".

The heavy paper is blank on its reverse, measures 5" X 7" (13x18 cm), and shows gentle tanning to betrays its 160+ years. The paper is clean, smooth, and the corners only slightly softened. There are no tears, folds, creases, or marks.

'Tallis Scriptures Natural History' was an 8-volume 1850 English work devoted to the study with a religious slant and geared toward children. These were small volumes issued as serials or subscriptions.

The papers were bound by string which has long gone missing. The dating of '1850' comes from the volumes back-paper wrap which includes advertising for other items being offered by the publisher in the upcoming year ~ 1851.

A lovely study to frame, fantastic to use in your art ~ your card or page making, collage, mixed media.
