Description

Excellent impression of the famous sheet, engraved in a single spiral line without any cross-hatching. On 18th century paper and with a margin of up to 19 mm wide around the edge of the plate. The first state, described after a print without the text, probably did not exist. – A few stains, small preservation defects around the edges. A small, inconspicuous tear at the bottom right edge, otherwise in good condition.
