Description:
- Engraving of Gaulish soldiers.
- The engraving shows Gaulish soldiers, under relief of an altar found in Paris, in a broad form and with great attention to detail.
- All the titles and signatures are outside the plate.
- In the upper margin is the legend 'FRANCE (Gaulois) - FRANCE (Gauls)'.
- In the lower margin it has the legend 'Soldats Gaulois - Gaulish Soldiers'.
- In the upper right-hand corner is printed the number '33', which suggests that the engraving is number 33 of a series.
- Intaglio etching on steel, although another technique could also have been used.
- It is probably an engraving belonging to a book.
Conservation and damage:
- General condition: Good.
- The ink is very good and the print is well stamped.
- The engraving is in monochrome black, with very good ink.
- The engraving is on medium-thick paper of average thickness and regular quality, glued at the corners to another paper.
- The engraving is dirty, and the edges are much dirtier, with very small tears, and the tips are slightly deteriorated with slight bends. It has small damp and rust stains.
- If it were lightly washed and bleached, the result would be very good.
