Framed ornithological board

ornithological board under frame Lithograph from John Gould's Birds of Great Britain, reissued 1981, drawings from 1860 to 1870. Printed in Italy, cardstock. Image size: 12x17cm Frame: 17x22cm The pinnacle of nineteenth-century animal art, Birds of Great Britain is the last work by John Gould (1804–1881) published during his lifetime. Printed between 1862 and 1873 in 500 copies, of which 397 were immediately sold for subscription, this edition is today an invaluable bibliophilic rarity. Never before had such mastery been achieved in the art of rendering the physical and physiognomic nuances of the bird. Gould excels at showing the variations in plumage between the adult and the immature, the male and the female, or at capturing the bird in its characteristic attitude and movement. —- 📦 Fast and neat shipping Colissimo or Mondial Relay 🛒 Free withdrawal in store (Amiens or Péronne)
