7 Chimp Gibbon Monkey antique prints Lloyds Forbes 1896

From Lloyd's Natural History Series 1896

'A Handbook to the Primates' by Henry O Forbes

7 No Original Chromolithograph Plates from 1896 edition.

NO RESERVE

Approx sizes 7x5 inches each

There is a little browning of the pages as you would expect with age but the colours are great and there are no folds in the paper. generally good condition.

there is some edge fraying where they were bound in to the book (the binding has fallen apart hence the breaking up of the book), you can see this from the scans, but in a mounted frame you wouldn't see this.

would look great mounted and framed as a set or separately.

The Plates are:

Plate XIII - The White Footed Marmoset

Plate XXVI - St John's Macaque

Plate XXI - The Bonnetted Capuchin

Plate XXXII - The Talopin (landscape layout)

Plate XXXIII - Bay Guereza *

Plate XXXVIII - The Simiang Gibbon

Plate XLI - The Bald Chimpanzee *

* Note these two have a little more damage to the edges which were bound, but can still be coveredup with a good mount - see scans

Note: obviously scanners being scanners they do not give a totally accurate copy of the plates but these are pretty accurate, I would say that the colours depicted are a little more intense than on the originals, but as I say above the colours are still good.

please see my other plates  of Marsupials, Mongooses, Monkeys, Civits and Cats, I will combine postage costs for more than one win.

prices quoted are for UK but I will post anywhere Internationally aswell. Email first to discuss costs to various countries. thanks and good luck.

Im not sure about the correct terminology to describe the condition of antique prints, so obviously alot of the above is subjective. I have been honest and hopefully accurate.

I dont accept returns so please ask questions before bidding
