This extremely rare and genuine 18th century copper plate engraving of the Greek and Roman god, Apollo, who was worshipped as the god of music, poetry, and light, is a remarkable work of art created by the renowned English engraver and cartographer Thomas Jefferys (c. 1719-1771), who was celebrated as "Geographer to King George III."Coming directly from an exceedingly rare mid-1700's London print publication, this engraving boasts of remarkable classical linework, beautiful drapery, and excellent balance of Enlightenment design. An excellent addition to a collection of Georgian era prints and classical mythology artwork.
