[Benjamin Franklin (1705-1790)] Pierre-Michel Alix (1762-1817). "Francklin".

Mezzotint portrait printed in colour after Charles Amédee Philippe Vanloo (1719-1795), 25 x 21 cm. (oval), signed and titled in the plate, published at Paris, c. 1793-1795.

Publisher's address at bottom cut off (according to the copy at the Rijksmuseum printed by Bechet for publisher Marie François Drouhin); the print is also slightly creased, and slightly soiled in margins. Still a fair copy and a fine impression with strong colours. Beautiful, rare portrait of one of the Founding Fathers of the United States.
