Descripción
London, the author, ca. 1835. Folio (37.2 x 27.5 cm). Well preserved hand-painted engraving of a goose in its natural surroundings. = This is a lovely hand-coloured plate from the finest and most complete atlas of portraits of British avifauna ever published, viz., Illustrations of British Birds (London, Longman, 1835-1850). Drawn and printed for the author - the Dutch-born British ornithologist Henry Meyer - and finely coloured by his wife, Mary Anne, or one of their daughters. This print is in excellent condition. Some very faint spotting. Faintly wrinkled on top right hand side. No dents or tears present.
