Description: A STUDY OF ST. PETER, HOLDING THE KEYS TO THE KINGDOM Original etching, circa 1630-1650, published by PIERRE MARIETTE I (French, 1603-1657) Unsigned, but inscribed with Mariette's name at the bottom in the caption area. Print size: small - approx. 17.5 x 13.5 cms. Condition: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND STUDY ALL THE PHOTOS. Printed on thin, early "laid" paper. Trimmed on or about the image line (I have taken this into account when pricing). Otherwise, well printed, a good, early, sharp, and clear impression of this moving and poignant subject. Pierre Mariette I was the founder of the print dynasty which was to dominate French print publishing for the best part of 200 years. He set up his business in Paris by buying the stock of Jean Messager in 1637, and that of Melchior Tavernier in 1644. *** ALL MY ITEMS ARE SENT VIA ROYAL MAIL TRACKED AND SIGNED FOR SERVICE, FOR EVERYBODY'S PEACE OF MIND. *** I AM HAPPY TO COMBINE SHIPPING
