Etching with original later colour.

Exceptionally etched sheet come from the large folio first edition of Sylva Britannica.

Jacob George Strutt (1784-1867) was a landscape painter and etcher by training, rather than a botanical draftsman. As a result, these tree images showcase superbly famous and distinguished trees in their surroundings. They portray an idyllic time in English history, at least for those who were land owners with large estates. Strutt's early training was in portraiture, but he also excelled in forest scenery. He is best known for Sylva Britannica and a separate book of romantic scenery in Great Britain, Deliciae Sylvarum.

In excellent overall condition for the size. Minor clean tear to right margin restored. Minor stains to very outer margins.
