This is a framed original 19th century hand-colored folio-sized lithograph entitled “Syrnium Aluco" (Tawny or Brown Owl) by John Gould, from his "Birds of Great Britain", published in London between 1862 and 1873. The print depicts an adult Tawny Owl perched on a log, about to feed a mouse to its three baby owls that are housed in a hollow portion of the log. Another adult owl in the background, presumably a male, watches over his family.
This striking framed Gould hand-colored lithograph is presented in an ornate gold-colored wood frame, a gold-colored fillet and a cream-colored French mat with a prominent ecru-colored band and a thinner mauve band. The frame measures 35" high, 28.25" wide and 1.5." thick. The descriptive text page from the original 19th century publication is included and is housed in a mylar sleeve attached to the back of the frame. The print and frame are in excellent condition other than a few faint spots.
