Description: Original color wood engraving finished with hand coloring c. 1870's. This print is from the "Cabinet" edition of Rev. Francis Morris' (1810-1893) History of British Birds. Morris authored a number of natural history books and guides to the estates of the nobility in the second half of the 1800's. The color plates were engraved and printed by Benjamin Fawcett (1808-1893). The illustrations of birds printed by Fawcett are regarded as some of the finest natural history illustrations of the century and are reminiscent of the bird books of Thomas Bewick. The color wood engravings shown here were finished with added hand-coloring. The mat measures 11" x 14". The opening measures 4 5/8" x 6.5".
