The quality of the handmade acid rag paper made from linen and flax and therefore acid free is excellent considering that the engraving is almost 200 years old. The eggs and the nest were drawn from life. These photographs don’t do justice to this stunning framed work of art. Bolton’s engravings are antiques treasured by collectors around the world. less
