Description: This is a gorgeous steel engraving from the ground breaking Sir William Jardine's Naturalist's Library published in Edinburgh in the 1830's encompassing several dozen volumes. All of the plates I have available are from his from on Orinthology specifically, the study of birds. Each plate was hand cut, and once impressed into the paper, were hand colored - an incredibly labor intensive task resulting in some incredibly beautiful images. Each volume in the series only had 6 to 12 plates (illustrations). The plates available were purchased from a dealer who acquired them from a fellow antiquarian print dealer who had salvaged them from a complete set of the books 40 years ago. This plate depicts an Lyrurus Tetrix (black grouse) from Volume 4 (IV) circa 1834. Combine multiple purchases to save on shipping. Dimensions are approximately 4" x 7". Ships flat via USPS ground advantage. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out.
