From the first edition of this monumental work on classical art. An original aquatint printed in terracotta-red and black over a white background. This plate, features two images. In one a female figure is flanked by two Satyrs, men with tails like horses. The second features a bearded figure flanked by two female figures. The figures are printed in black on a terracotta background with stylized foliage around them. Printed on a folio captioned sheet measuring 22.5" x 16.5", the printed area approximately, 15" x 10"., Now presented in cream mounting boards 26" x 22", glazed behind clear mylar. A fine and beautifully preserved plate in excellent condition. AN IMPRESSIVE PLATE FEATURING A TOTAL OF SIX HUMAN FIGURES. This plate is from the original edition of LaBorde's COLLECTION DES VASES GRECS DE MR. LE COMTE DE LAMBERG. The Count of Lamberg, Ambassador to the King of Naples, assembled a remarkable collection of approximately 500 vases which included a number given to him by the Queen of Naples. Laborde, mindful of faults in the illustrations of the famous Hamilton catalogues, was intent on producing an even finer book, and rendering the objects with 'extreme fidelity'. Brunet said of the production, "the precious pieces [in this collection] are shown here with remarkable precision." Quérard noted, "this work deserves particular attention for its fine execution. It was attempted as much as possible to present facsimiles, so to speak, of the vases, with all the colours and figures that can be seen on these precious pieces.".
