A propos de cet article

The text in this engraving reads:Top Header: St. Peter deliver'd out of Prison by an Angel. Acts. XII. 7-10.Bottom Inscription: Actor. XII. 7–10. St. Pierre delivré de la prison par un Ange. N. I. 55. Petrus door eenen Engel uit de gevangenisse verlost.Bottom Right Margin: N. I. 55.Rare 1754 Amsterdam Copperplate Engraving: Saint Peter Delivered from PrisonAn authentic 18th-century copperplate engraving capturing the miraculous liberation of Saint Peter from prison by an angel (Acts 12:7-10). This highly atmospheric New Testament scene depicts the divine rescue while the Roman guards remain deep in sleep, rendered with masterful subterranean architectural details and powerful contrast between shadow and divine light. This print originates from a 1754 New Testament volume published in Amsterdam by the cartographers and book publishers Josua and Reinier Ottens. Operating during the Dutch Enlightenment, the Ottens firm was well-known for its illustrated volumes. This specific plate is sequentially marked N. I. 55. in the lower right margin.Dimensions (Full Leaf) Sheet Size: 254 x 206 mm (10.00 x 8.11 inches)Engraving Technique & DetailsDetailed Composition: The center right features a luminous, winged angel guiding an elderly Saint Peter toward the prison exit. To the left, armored Roman guards holding halberds and spears are shown slumped on the stone floor, completely unconscious. The setting is a grim, subterranean dungeon dungeon vault framed by heavy stone masonry, iron-barred windows, and broken wooden stocks lying on the floor in the lower foreground.Trilingual Inscriptions: Features typography in English, French, and Dutch within the margins:Top Header: St. Peter deliver'd out of Prison by an Angel. Acts. XII. 7–10.Bottom Inscription: Actor. XII. 7-10. St. Pierre delivré de la prison par un Ange. Petrus door eenen Engel uit de gevangenisse verlost.Plate Impression: The print retains a clear, distinct plate mark from the copper press, with fine line cross-hatching creating rich textual contrast across the stone blocks, the metallic surfaces of the sleeping soldiers' armor, and the soft feathers of the angel's wings. A genuine, nearly 300-year-old print on historic paper. The sheet is stable with a dark, clear image impression, but it shows typical signs of age and significant structural wear along the left margin:Mild, even toning across the paper surface consistent with mid-18th-century paper artifacts. Scattered minor smudging, light handling marks, and faint surface discoloration spots are present primarily within the wide outer margins.The left edge (the original binding edge) shows severe, heavy rough margins with deep jagged tears, significant chipping, and substantial paper loss from where it was extracted from the volume binding. This wear includes a large horizontal closed tear on the mid-left side that breaks past the left plate mark border line, stopping just short of the main engraved image border.The top left and bottom left corner tips show noticeable missing paper fragments and fraying, well clear of all printed elements.A complete collector's example from the Ottens series, offered in honest, un-restored antique condition with notable margin wear as described.…
