RARE AND BEAUTIFUL PRINTS BY A MASTER!</em></td>

<td width="100%">
Presenting a rare and exquisite portfolio of six prints of
hummingbirds, by the celebrated 19th c. English
ornithologist, John Gould. These particular prints are
considered to be among his very best work. He painted over 5,000 hummingbirds for botanists, even coming to America in search of new species<P>Each print shows
the bird in his natural habitat. Whether in flight, or resting on a
branch with blossoms, Gould was able to capture the delicacy
and charm of the hummingbird. <P>DIMENSIONS: 20.5" LONG
16" WIDE. <P>CONDITION: EXCELLENT. These six prints were
printed in 1946, copyright by I. B. Fisher Co., New York City,
from the original plates. Though over 60 years old, the colors
are vibrant. There is no fading or aging to the prints
themselves, which is rare for any works on paper of that vintage.
Only the folio cover and one of the prints show some wear - there is a small tear and some worn spots on the folio crease and some pressure marks on one of the prints.<P>The prints are framed under plexiglass to protect them. <P>This portfolio would bring distinction and style to any room, no matter what the decor.
