Johann Elias Ridinger is known for his many animal and hunting prints. He was a very prolific etcher, not only of copper etchings but also mezzotints. He was a student of G.P. Rugendas who influenced the printing of mezzotints. Ridinger also did some botanical plates for J.G. Weinman. The lion prints were published in 1738.
All prints are in very good condition unless otherwise noted.
One noticeable spot to left of title. Light rubbing on lower plate mark. Very minimal spotting in margins.
