These are original hand-colored lithographs from 1896 — not reproductions — from St. George Mivart's "Monograph of the Lories," published by R.H. Porter and illustrated by celebrated ornithological artist John Gerrard Keulemans. The Keulemans parrot style gives each piece a refined, scholarly presence that feels both decorative and deeply connected to Victorian-era illustration.

Each print features species from the Psitteuteles genus, including Meyer, Bonthainensis, and Euteles lories, highlighting the beauty of Australian parrots and East Indies birds. The visual style reflects Keulemans' celebrated ornithological precision, and the hand-colored lithography adds richness and depth to the composition.

The prints are beautifully presented in ornate gold wood frames with glazing, matted and ready to display in a home or office setting. Framed size is approximately 18-1/4" wide x 22" high x 3/4" deep; visible artwork (under the mat) is approximately 8-3/4" wide x 11" high.

A striking choice for natural history wall decor and vintage lithograph displays — ideal for buyers who appreciate scientific illustration, antique bird print detail, and the enduring appeal of rare parrot artwork. Because these are original 1896 prints, each framed piece carries the charm and presence of a true vintage collectible rather than a modern reproduction.
