Aquatint and etching, circa 1815. 245x350 mm; 9 3/4x13 3/4 inches, full margins. First edition. From the Tauromaquia. A superb, early impression with all the subtle aquatint tones and the over-bitten etching on the bull distinct, with crisp plate edges and with little to no sign of wear, consistent with the earliest impressions of this subject. Delteil 231; Harris 211.
