Superb Bird of Paradise
1886 Wood Engraving
Birds from the region of New Gunea were extraordinarily exotic in Victorian days, and this 1886 wood engraving must have been very foreign to its viewers. The print being offered here is in great condition and would look wonderful in a children's room, or on the wall of a bird-lover. It is on medium-weight paper, and is blank on the reverse, and is printed with exceptional crispness and clarity. The print is7-1/4 inches by 4-3/4 inches; the image area is about 6 inches by 4-1/2 inches. It has a brownish streak on the left margin, which does not affect the image. Your satisfaction is totally guaranteed.
