No. 34 Antique French engraving titled “Les Caledoniens Vaincus.”

The lower text reads “Brûlent leurs Cabanes et massacrent leurs Enfans,” which translates to “The defeated Caledonians burn their huts and massacre their children.” The plate is marked “Dessiné par le jeune” at lower left and “Gravé par David” at lower right, with plate number “No. 34.”

Dramatic historical/classical scene showing defeated Caledonians, burning huts, figures, children, and a tragic battle aftermath. Strong antique European history, classical history, French engraving, and old book plate appeal.

This appears to be an original antique engraved plate from an old French publication, not a modern poster or inkjet print.

Condition: Antique condition with age toning, foxing/spots, paper discoloration, handling wear, plate impression visible, and edge/margin wear consistent with age. Please review all photos carefully, as they are part of the description.

Great for collectors of antique French engravings, historical prints, classical history, European history, Caledonian/Scottish history, old book plates, and dramatic neoclassical artwork.
