Four (4) Rare, Vintage Original, Hand Tinted, J.W. Hill Engravings of Sharks ca. 1840. J.W. Hill Lithographs located in Endicott, New York proved one of the premier lithographers of taxonomic illustrations of birds, reptiles and fish in the 19th century. These lithographs have proved very collectible and are prized for their detail and colors. Offered are plates 61-64 all having to do with sharks: hammerhead, great white, thresher, Pacific angel shark, mako, dogfish and more. Each lithograph is 10 x 8" and are in very fine condition given their age. One has a square of acid free tape to hold in check a puncture on verso, and another to handle a corner tear. Both virtually invisible issues. Otherwise these very hard to find lithographs would be welcome in any level of collection. Estimated Value $500 - UP
