London: John Gould, 1867.
Print. Full-page hand-colored lithograph. Sheet measures 21 1/2" x 14 1/2".
Two Great Tit birds are perched on a flowering branch in this finely rendered print, which can be found in John Gould's 5-volume publication 'The Birds of Great Britain.' Gould published 'The Birds of Great Britain' between 1862 and 1873 and sketched more than 300 images for the folio project. This print was lithographed by H.C. Richter and printed by Walter. It is in very good condition, with minor wear and small tears at the right margin, not affecting the image. The colors are bright and fresh.
