Two Color Engravings Taken From Mr. De Ferriol's Collection On The Peoples Of The Levant

Charles de Ferriol (1652–1722) served as ambassador to the Sublime Porte for nearly twenty years.
He commissioned the painter Jean Baptiste Van Mour to create portraits of the people living in Turkey so that they could be engraved in France and published as a collection in 1715.
It is titled *A Collection of One Hundred Prints Depicting the Various Nations of the Levant, Drawn from Life in 1707*....
Taken from this remarkable album are two engravings, hand-colored at the time, depicting a confectioner and a woman weaving on a traditional loom. 
One of the engravings is by Scotin, the other by Simonneau Jr., both royal engravers who belonged to prominent families of court engravers.
They were mounted under glass in the 1950s.
The set is in excellent condition
Dimensions of the engraving (including the mount): 35 cm x 25 cm
