Mid century pair of Hummingbirds bird prints in matching vintage solid wood frames, after John Gould
A pair of mid century prints of the species of Hummingbirds after the 19th century English illustrator John Gould, who was associated with Charles Darwin.
The pictures have been framed and professionally mounted in lovely vintage solid wood frames and freshly strung to the reverse to arrive ready to hang on a nail.
The species of bird is printed to the bottom centre, along with its Latin name.
“John Gould (1804-1881) holds an important place in the history of ornithology and natural history illustration. He was a pioneering naturalist who collaborated with Charles Darwin, a taxonomist, publisher, and collector. His magnificent folio works, published over six decades, are celebrated for their scientific accuracy and artistic beauty. They were the product of a collaborative process, in which Gould worked closely with such renowned artists as Edward Lear and Joseph Wolf. The results elevated ornithological illustration to new heights.” – PeterHarrington.co.uk
The pictures including their frames measure 27cm X 22cm.
