RARE!

We recently closed our gallery of rare antique books and prints, some framed, some not, and all our artwork has been reduced as a result. 

 

THIS IS A CHOICE BETWEEN 2 ANTIQUE FRAMED PRINTS:

GREAT AUK

OR

BLACK GUILLEMOT

UNLESS YOU WANT BOTH.

Over 159 years old

(Seen on all the photos) 

Each a rare collector antique original hand Colored Wood Engraving.

 

EACH MATTED  WITH 6 MATS AND FRAMED

Mint condition and original vivid hand coloring.

 

You are buying ONE, either the left or the right, each a framed original antique print (professionally framed in a hand painted frame with 6 acid free mats, 2 of them hand painted with minute details by artist as well, French style).

 

This is a 19C antique original chromolithograph, a beautiful authentic hand-colored English print of a bird from a collection of highly detailed plates from the Rev. F. O. Morris’s work published in the mid 1800’s by Groombridge, London. 

 

This is an excellent hand-tinted colored print and a scarce collectible in perfect condition although over 100 years old.  It has been framed in a custom hand painted frame. 6 acid free mats were also added. 

 

Original English 1860’s antique hand-colored bird engraving from "A history of British birds", by Reverend. F. O. Morris - Rev. Francis Orphen Morris - (1810-1893), rector of Nunburnholme, Yorkshire.

Every plate from “An History of British Birds”, was colored by hand.

It is becoming rarer and rarer to find antique prints especially in this amazing condition and of this quality.

NOT A REPRODUCTION

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

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...

 

 

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.
