ENGRAVING ETHNOGRAPHY SHEET 1. GRAS & Cª. ETHNIC GROUPS.

Description:
- Engraving corresponding to Plate 1 of Ethnography, belonging to the Illustrated Popular Encyclopaedia of Sciences and Arts, made by Federico Gillman, and formed according to the Iconographic Encyclopaedia and the Conversations Lexicon of Germany.
- The engraving shows different tribes of the time, instruments used, and places.
- In the upper margin is the title 'ETHNOGRAPHY', and in the upper right-hand corner is printed 'Lam. 1', which identifies it as Engraving No. 1 in a series on ethnography.
- In the lower margin are the identifications of the different tribes, instruments, etc., as well as the imprint 'Gras y Compañía. Editors. Madrid'.
- Intaglio etching on steel, although another technique could also have been used.
- Made in black monochrome tone, very well inked, centred with acceptable margins and with a good stamping.
- It is very important that the engraving has a distinctive mark, mark or contrast, in order to be able to identify data such as the engraver, the artist, the place where it was printed and other details.
Conservation and damage:
- General condition Good.
- The engraving is on medium-thick paper of fair quality.
- The paper is somewhat dirty and has some rust stains. Some of them slightly affect the engraving.

- If a cleaning is applied to it, the result could be very acceptable.
