Description
Satyrs and Sileni in the forest, a Satyr at the centre hugging a tree; after a drawing by Salvator Rosa.
Etching, 1766, lettered below the image with production details.
From Tome I of Charles Rogers “A Collection of Prints in Imitation of Drawings to which are annexed lives with explanatory and critical notes by Charles Rogers Esq. F.R.S. S.A.L. / Quantanus nobis denegatur diu viver relinquamus aliquid quo nos vixisse testemur. Plin. Lib. III. Epist. 7 / Stampato da J. Nicholls, successore di Mr Bowyer e venduto da John Boydell, incisore, n. 93, Cheapside. Benjamin White, presso Horace's Head, Fleet-Street. Peter Molini, in Oxendon-Street, Hay-Market M.DCC.LXXVIII”.
The plates were engraved after drawings in major British collections, including Charles Rogers' own, and published in two volumes in London.
A very good impression on contemporary laid paper, with margins, a light foxing, otherwise in good condition.
