Instant gallery wall framed and ready for your home. These appear to be set of 12, original, hand-colored, beautifully-framed steel engravings by the lauded William Home Lizars (1788–1859)—painter, engraver and publisher from Edinburgh. They may have been created for "The Naturalist Library" published in London between 1833 and 1842.
Each frame is approximately 9 x 11 x 2 inches. Frames are in marvelous shape. Engravings are brightly colored with each "large animal" name in Latin under the image. There is also "Lizars sc." mark mid-right on each image.
The old, paper label on the back of each frame is from W. King Ambler "Old Prints and Maps." Started in 1944, Ambler Art Group grew out of W. King Ambler's love of antique prints and engravings. King Ambler visited England and other parts of Europe after World War II where he purchased numerous antique books.
King had been an independent furniture sales representative whose great love of antique books and prints led to the creation of the company W. King Ambler, Inc. In the company's 70th year, the name changed to the current name Ambler Art Group (still in existence).
