Date 1835

The hoopoe or common hoopoe (Upupa epops) is a colorful bird found across

Afro-Eurasia, notable for its distinctive "crown" of feathers.

It is the only extant species in the family Upupidae.

The Madagascan hoopoe (Upupa epops marginata) is a subspecies of

hoopoe

in the Upupidae family. It is often considered as a full species

(Upupa marginata),

separate from the hoopoe, due to its vocalisations and small differences

in plumage, but it is otherwise similar to the rest of the species.

The brown sicklebill (Epimachus meyeri) is a species of bird-of-paradise.

The hoopoe starling, also known as the Réunion starling or

Bourbon crested starling

(Fregilupus varius), is a species of starling which lived on the Mascarene

island of Réunion, and became extinct in the 1850s.

This is reduced since we just closed our art gallery and are liquidating what is left.

The print is a very rare original!

This is a real bargain, and ready to go!

It makes a great gift for collectors of rare prints.

We also carry loose original prints 300 years old or less in great condition such as: Albin, Audubon, Baron, Barraband, Bertuch, Brodtmann, Brown, Buffon, Cassel, Curtis, Cuvier, Donovan, Edwards, Fitch, Frisch, Grandville, Harrison, Walter Hood, Latham, Linden,Linnaeus, Loddiges, Martinet, McKenney, Morris, Munting, Redoute, Reinchenbachia, Schreber, Schubert, Selby, Shaw and Nodder, Van Geel, Warner, etc.... etc...

Again, we closed our art store of antique prints and custom frames as well as our store of rare artifacts from around the world and we will now sell them direct to the public here. We have 1000's of antique prints and it will take a while to do so, so if you are interested in prints from the names above or others since I did not have time to list them all, please contact us.
