c. 1800, "David and Bath-Sheba" by Amos Doolittle, Very Fine. 16" x 9.5", taken from a book and trimmed along the right edge where it was pulled from the binding. Light dampstaining along the left edge (well away from the design), scattered light toning and text "burning." In this print, a tiny figure of David watches a partially nude Bath-sheba as she bathes in a fountain. Doolittle was a Minuteman, a mapmaker, and a famous American engraver of the late 1700s and early 1800s whose prints are eagerly sought-after today. This attractive print is suitable for framing and display.
