Object history | 6 plates, from a series of 21 (Geymüller; IFF) or 22 (Guilmard; Fuhring) or 23 (BM) plates by Du Cerceau. An anonymous pencil inscription on the envelope in which these prints are housed states they are reversed copies, and goes on to say that the Met has the same series but does not consider them to be copies and attributes them to Androuet Du Cerceau himself (32.130.33-57?). As the V&A's plates are not actually printed in the reverse sense to other known 'Petits Trophées' by Androuet Du Cerceau, this information is confusing. Two of the plates (22732:1 and 22732:2) have been reinforced (?) by being pasted to fragments of a hand-written music manuscript/sheet music with French lyrics, in pen and ink. |
