A charming set of four 18th-century hand-colored bird engravings by the renowned English naturalist and ornithologist George Edwards (1694–1773), often regarded as the father of British ornithology.
Published in the mid-18th century from Edwards' celebrated A Natural History of Uncommon Birds, each engraving depicts beautifully observed exotic birds in naturalistic landscapes.
The prints are presented in a coordinated set of later, early 20th Century black-painted wood and gesso frames with gilt trim. A classic English look that works beautifully in traditional, collected, or eclectic interiors. Displayed together, they make an elegant gallery wall grouping.
