  • Lesser Lemon-Crested Cockatoo – Greene’s Parrots – 1884

    Lesser Lemon-Crested Cockatoo – Greene’s Parrots – 1884

    Original wood cut engraving of a beautiful Cockatoo also known simple as the Yellow Created Cockatoo from Parrots in Captivity published in London in 1884. It inhabits the rainforests of Indonesia and in particular Sulawesi. He can be confused with the Sulphur Crested but he is quite a bit smaller at about 35 cm tall. The male and female are almost identical.

    Greene’s delightful work comprising wood-engraved plates printed by Benjamin Fawcett after drawings by A.F. Lydon. The prints are hand finished with delicate highlighting in gum arabic that makes the breast feathers shimmer in a most unusual way.

    Benjamin Fawcett was one of the great colour printers of the 19th century. He pioneered a system of wood block engraving from multiple blocks that resulted in vivid finely coloured works. Fawcett had an association of some 50 years with Francis Orpen Morris to produce many beautiful works on birds. Greene’s Parrots in Captivity is an authoritative and studious work. The engravings are the finest of all the illustrations of parrots from the period.

  • Rufous-bellied Pteruthius (Pteruthius Rufiventer) John Gould – The Birds of Asia

    Rufous-bellied Pteruthius (Pteruthius Rufiventer) John Gould – The Birds of Asia

    Original hand-coloured lithograph from Gould’s impressive “Birds of Asia” completed and published in London in 1856.

    Executed by John Gould and Henry Constantine Richter. Beautifully colouring and with gum Arabic highlights to the back, tail and eyes of the bird to give extra depth and contrast. A very good near fine example with the attendant descriptive page.

    The now common name of the bird is the Black-headed Shrike-Babbler. At the time of this lithograph it had recently been discovered and named as a new species by Mr Blyth of Calcutta, India. He is still given that accolade. It was thought to be uncommon whilst it is found from Eastern Nepal through to Vietnam.
