From the folder I bought come two engravings which were done to illustrate Virgil’s ‘Aeneis’. Publius Virgilius Maro is the full name of the person we know as Virgil. The book was published by #PierreDidot in 1798 and contained Aeneis, Bucolica, and Georgica. The engravings were done by #RaphaelUrbainMassard (1774-1843) and #JacqueLouisCopia (1764-1799). The drawings from which these two engravers worked were done by #FrancoisGerrard and #Anne-LouisGirodetdeRoussy.

There were 23 engravings to the original publication. These two are fine examples of the engravings that illustrate the volume throughout.
