Vintage print by Flemish engraver Anthony Cardon (1772–1813). Cardon engraved in chalk or stipple and made his career in England where he became noted for his illustrations in books.
Vintage print by him, published in London, 1804, showing dancers André-Jean-Jacques Deshayes (1777-1846) and James Harvey D’Egville (1770?-1836) en the ballet-pantomime “Achille et Deidamie”, a tragedie en musique composed by Andre Campra. Large size, 14.9 x 19.5 inches (or 37.5 x 49.5 cm), minor scratches and a crack, all hard to see, overall age toning, but the colors and condition are very good. An excellent piece to frame and display, now over 200 years old, rare.
