Description

Antique 1850 Victorian Tallis Scriptures Natural History Hand Colored Engraving Featuring The Bison

A hand-colored engraving is featured on a finely detailed Victorian paper gleaned from the 1850 folio edition of Tallis' Scripture Natural History For Youth.

The heavy paper is blank on its reverse and shows gentle tanning to betrays its 160+ years. The paper is clean, smooth, and the corners only slightly softened. The paper measures 5" x 7" (13x18 cm), is smooth and clean, and has 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 pages 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 gorgeous study to frame, fantastic to use in your art ~ your card or page making, your collage, mixed media.
