The term illustré ancien refers to works adorned with woodcuts or copper engravings predating the 19th century, in which text and image spring from the same workshop tradition. Their bibliophilic interest lies in the quality of the impression, the condition of the plates, and the freshness of the period colouring, where it survives — each of these elements making every copy a singular witness to the engraver’s art.
