Three Decorative Floral Prints in the 17th Century Style: After Martin Engelbrecht (German, 1684-1756), Two Reproduction Plates, with hand-coloring, depicting fruit trees in urns; and After Jean-Baptiste Monnoyer (French, 1636-1699), Flowers in a Basket, hand-colored etching, as originally published by N. de Poilly, Paris. Sight sizes to 12 x 9 1/2 in., framed. Condition: Not examined out of frames. Literature: This lot, and others from the same collection, are illustrated and contextualized in Imagining Ichabod: My Journey Into 18th-Century America Through History, Food, and a Georgian House, by Paula Bennett (Bauer and Dean: New York, 2016). Imagining Ichabod is described as a "warm, personal account of life in an eighteenth-century house and the search for its first inhabitants... [which offers] a fascinating glimpse into [the United States'] colonial period and its years as a fledgling republic." Estimate $50-75 Although the frames were not opened during cataloging, the condition of all three appears good, especially given their recent printing. Items may have wear and tear, imperfections, or the effects of aging. Any condition statement given, as a courtesy to a client, is only an opinion and should not be treated as a statement of fact. Skinner shall have no responsibility for any error or omission.
