Johan Martin Preisler (1715-1794). Two portraits of Frederik IV and Christian VI. Copperplate engraving. Both signed. 34 x 24 (47 x 35) cm. Slightly yellowed paper. Examined in frames. (2)

These copperplate engravings were intended as illustrations in J.H. Schlegel's multi-volume work 'Geschichte der Könige von Dänemark' (1769-77). The publication of the work came to a halt when Christian IV was reached, which is why the copperplate engravings from Frederik III up to Christian VII were sold as loose sheets.
