Léon Dardel (Paris 1814 – after 1892) was a French painter and engraver (illustrator). Very little is known about his life, except he was born as the son of a jeweller. Dardel was lauded by his contemporaries for his numismatic line drawings.
In excellent condition, but only the lower top of the sheet, which originally contained two engravings.
