Description
This hand-coloured lithograph is from the first edition of Birds Drawn from Nature by Jemima Blackburn, published in Edinburgh in1862. These rare hand colored lithographs depict many different species of birds along with their nests & eggs and are among some of the most endearing nest and bird illustrations of the period.Jemima Blackburn (1823-1909) was one of the most popular and talented ornithological illustrators of the Victorian era. By her early twenties she had earned the praise of Sir Edwin Landseer who said “in portraying animals, I have nothing to teach her”, and was called “the best illustrator I know” by John Ruskin.These prints are quite rare, as a very limited number of the first edition folio prints were published.Each print measures approximately 10.5in x 14.5in or 26.7cm x 36.8cm. The photos are very accurate, so please review carefully.
