Suakin Sudan Africa Harbor View Red Sea Fishing Boats 1719 Mallet birds eye view North America smooth spine gilt ruled intoSuaquen. (Old Prints, 18th Century Prints, Africa, Sudan, Suakin, Red Sea, Harbor View, Fishing Boats). Issued 1719, Frankfurt, for A. M. Mallet. Charming 18th century copper engraved 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 displays a fine patina. Sheet
