Man of Barbary Arab of the Deserts Morocco Algeria North Africa c.1770 old print Ural Mountains Oversize folio sheet imageA principal person of Barbary An Arab of the Deserts (North Africa) Issued London, c. 1770 by Moore. Interesting late 18th century engraved print. The image has a near folk art feel, a style unique to this time in history. Utterly unlike anything produced today and of modern aesthetic appeal for this very reason. Excellent depiction of ethnic types of a long past era, note the robes, turban, vegetation, clouds, shadows, etc. Tiny title below each
