Note: all prints in the British Museum that are inscribed with the name, “Perelle,” are catalogued under the father’s name, “Gabriel Perelle” (https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/term/BIOG41615). The Rijksmuseum advises: (transl.) “Prints with the signature 'Perelle' can be made by father Gabriel as well as by sons” (see RP-P-OB-72.016).

Etching on fine laid paper with wide margins.

Size: (sheet) 30.1 x 25.7 cm; (plate) 18 x 17.5 cm; (image borderline dia.) 17.1 cm.

Inscribed on plate below the image borderline at lower left: “Inuenté et graué par Perelle […] Auec priuil.du Roy […]  VI”.

Condition: a superb, richly inked and well-printed impression with wide margins. Beyond a printer’s mark on the plate edge at right, the sheet is in a museum-quality condition with no tears, holes, folds, abrasions, significant stains, foxing or signs of handling.

I am selling this very strong impression of a round formatted landscape framed by trees with boatmen in the foreground, travellers/herdsmen with cattle in the middle distance and a distant view over rough terrain to a watch tower and other buildings, for AU$256 (currently US$189.18/EUR158.04/GBP142.09 at the time of posting this listing) including Express Mail (EMS) postage and handling to anywhere in the world, but not (of course) any import duties/taxes imposed by some countries.
