Speaking as an amateur collector (definitely no expert) the absence of that page assigning an edition number would make me suspect yours is a...
Is there a text page with the edition number, and do the woodcut pages have watermarks?
Did you take the hermit/faun/girl one out of its frame? I'd be fascinated to know if there's a watermark in the paper.
I think I can see a faint platemark. It's a genuine copper engraving from 1812 so there will definitely be a platemark.
On this one I'm possibly seeing 'Marastoni'.
Maybe a Dutch greetings card to celebrate the arrival of a baby ??
The something after E Emerich is Aalsburg I think.

Many thanks. I’m definitely swinging round to the consensus view here that this is a 1974 work, and the correspondence with the Chénier opera date...
Many thanks for that. I think the key thing for me is to nail down the date. The paper is on such a thick wove, and with a lot of surface soiling,...
Oops sorry, I’m being obtuse. The simple answer is I don’t know. My opinion - I feel that it’s a very introspective German satirical piece on...
Yes, how interesting. I’d been rather fixated on 1874 with Marx, Engels and Russian social movements and so a philosopher genius. But I can see a...
[ATTACH] Many thanks for these references. I've also ordered a copy of Bamber Gascoigne's book on identifying prints. I think if it is a...
I’ve tried using whatever leads I can – the images, the text, the name ‘Ryba’ etc, but can’t track anything down.
Separate names with a comma.
