This first addition, hand colored lithograph comes from the first addition of "The Birds of Great Britain" and features a lovely scene of "Cygnus Olor." AKA Mute Swans. The artwork is on rag paper and has been professionally matted and framed. The scene depicted is a family of swans in their natural environment with exquisite details throughout. The artist captures every detail from the reflections in the water, to plumage, to the flora. This series is considered to be "the most sumptuous and costly of British bird books". The famed artist lived from 1804-1881. This piece was created in 1872. It would be magnificent on any wall! It can be hung via the universal metal wire on the back. The frame is hand caved solid wood with some gold gilding detailing. The matting is mostly white with a small pale pink accent. The wording a the bottom of the artwork reads from left to right: "J.
