Description of the work:

This alluring woodblock engraving of a parrot with hand-finished coloring is from W. T. Greene?s Parrots in Captivity. George Bell & Sons published the work in London between 1884 and 1887. Benjamin Fawcett is credited for creating the prints after drawings by A. F. Lydon.

The work featured comprehensive text on the feeding and rearing of each bird kept in captivity. Parrots in Captivity was expansive in material featuring vibrant illustrations of macaws, cockatoos, lories, parrots, parakeets, and lovebirds. Greene?s work inspired many to attempt raising the parrots as pets, resulting in the steep decline in wild populations of many of the species featured to endangered levels or even extinction.

Paper Size: ~ 6 1/2" by 9 7/8"

Paper Type or Special Features: Woodblock with Hand-finished Color

Condition

The work is in very good to excellent condition overall. There may be a few minor marks or imperfections to be expected with age. Please review the image carefully for condition and contact us with any questions.
