I own a copy of the well-known engraving of Silvius Leopold Weiss (with the subtitle "Es soll nur Silvius die Laute spielen"). It's engraved 1765 by Folin after a painting by Denner and measures ca. 10 x 15 cm. You all have seen it more than once, as it is the only surviving picture of Weiss. I don't know how many copies survived, but it can't be much. The copy is in a very good condition, except what seems to be the traces of some small sparks.
This is definitely a rare and beautiful piece of lute history.
I'm looking forward to your offers, If you are interested, please contact me off-list.
