ENGRAVING AGÁ OF THE GEMISAROS AND THE CADI LECHKEN. TURKEY.

Description:
- Engraving Agá de los Gemisaros and El Cadi Lechken.
- All the titles and signatures are outside the plate.
- In the upper margin is the legend ‘Turquie - Turkey’.
- In the lower margin is the legend ‘Agha of the Gemisaros (1540 to 1580) - El Cadi Lechken’.
- The number ‘18’ is printed in the upper right-hand corner, suggesting that the engraving is number 18 in a series.
- Augustin François Lemaître: French engraver, lithographer, designer, publisher and photographer. He depicted many landscapes, monuments, architecture and people, especially during his many travels in Europe.
- Intaglio etching on steel plate, although another technique could also have been used.
- Produced in a single-colour black tone, very well inked.
- It is probably an engraving belonging to a book.

Conservation and Damage:
- General condition: Good.
- It is very well inked, and has a good stamping.
- The engraving is on medium-thickness paper of fair quality.
- The engraving has suffered from humidity, so the paper has small humidity stains and rust spots, all of which are more pronounced as we approach the edges.
- The engraving is dirty, and the edges are much dirtier, with very small tears, and the tips are slightly deteriorated with slight bending.
- A light washing and bleaching would be a very good result.

Comments:
- Measurements are approximate.
- The tones of the colours in the photos are not the same as the tones of the real colours.
- The Print for sale is the one that corresponds to the photos. The description is not a detailed exposition of the same.
- The data provided here are personal opinions not contrasted.
