Toucan: Authentic 176-year-old print, not a reproduction. • Edition: 1849. • Size: 15 X 24 cm. • Artist: E. Édouard Travies. • Condition: Very good, some minor signs of age. • The iconic original print. The artist of this work is Édouard Traviès de Villers (1809–1876), a French animal painter, illustrator, and lithographer, particularly known for his depictions of birds and insects. Charles d’Orbigny’s Dictionary of Natural History is a 19th-century scientific work, bringing together plates and detailed descriptions of the animal and plant kingdoms. Combining scientific rigor and artistic quality, each engraving precisely illustrates natural diversity, making this dictionary an educational and decorative document, ideal for framing and collecting. The toucan is famous for its enormous, brightly colored beak—yellow, orange, or red—contrasting with its glossy black plumage. Its lively eyes and spirited demeanor add to its charm. Its spectacular appearance evokes tropical joy. • Find all our lithographs and prints on our profile. • Send us a message with any questions. • Fast shipping and careful packaging for safe delivery. • For the purchase of multiple prints, contact us to arrange a discount and combined shipping.
