Item Details
Description
This original lithograph of the European Goatsucker (Caprimulgus europæus) is from John Gould's The Birds of Europe, issued in parts between 1832 and 1837.This plate is number 51 from volume 2 of this work and was drawn and lithographed by John & Elizabeth Gould.The first edition was 5 volumes, folio size with 448 hand-coloured lithographed plates, the majority drawn and lithographed by Elizabeth Gould from sketches and designs by John Gould and the remainder drawn and lithographed by Edward Lear.In these prints, the bird is the only focus of the image, with a sketchier background, giving them the air of being a watercolour study or drawing. Such exquisite delicacy is the hallmark of this work.Size: approximately 22in x 15in (52cm x 36cm).
Condition
Excellent with very slight vertical crease - please inspect image carefully.
