A Concert of Birds British: c. 1778
By Richard Earlom (1743-1822) (engraver) after Mario (di Fiori) Nuzzi (c.1603-1673)
During the TEFAF 2009 in Maastricht, I visited the MABP book an print fair. I found this great mezzotint engraving. Truly a landmark in mezzotint engraving. You will find references of this print through many museum collections, which is a good sign, but it is rarely offered for sale.
