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

<td width="100%">
Presenting a rare and exquisite portfolio of six prints of
hummingbirds of Australia, by the celebrated 19th c. English
ornithologist, John Gould. These particular prints are
considered to be among his very best work.<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, aging or damage to the prints
themselves, which is rare for any works on paper of that vintage.
Only the folio cover shows some wear - there is a small tear and
some worn spots on the folio crease.<P>The prints and cover
have recently been shrink wrapped to prevent any further
damage. Because of the large size of the pages, they are
especially vulnerable to mishandling.<P>Beautifully framed, this
portfolio would bring distinction and style to any room, no
matter what the decor.
