c.1820 BIRDS! Stunning and Beautiful Antique Hand Colored Copperplate Engraving. This is a glorious hand colored copperplate engraving of five different birds. Since species really change over time...and this is a two hundred year span of time, I am not quite sure how to identify them.
The word Birds is in German, French, English and Italian. Plate LXXIV, but I am not familiar with the series that it was originally part of. They are perching birds, but none are familiar to me. If any kind Etsyer has any notions, that would be so helpful.
Never glued or mounted in any way, this c.200 year old engraving is in excellent condition. There is one tiny iron oxide speck on the right side.
8" x 10".
This hand colored copperplate engraving will be sent backed with an acid-free board to keep it flat and in a clear archival sleeve to protect it inside the outer packing.
