(Old Prints, 18th Century Prints, Asia, Qing Empire, China, Nanjing, Porcelain Tower, City View, Pagoda). Issued 1719, Frankfurt, for A. M. Mallet. Charming little 18th century copper engraved birds eye view with lovely hand color. The image has a near folk art feel, a style unique to this historical era. Utterly unlike anything produced today and of modern aesthetic appeal for this reason. Mostly clean and well preserved example, the image
