Set of 3 Antique Bird Prints of Two Falcons and Their Eggs, circa 1860
About the Item
These antique bird prints are part of a set of three depicting a saker falcon, Norwegian jer-falcon, and their eggs. They originate from the book titled 'A history of the birds of Europe, not observed in the British Isles,' authored by Charles Robert Bree and featuring illustrations by Benjamin Fawcett. The book was published circa 1860.
1. **Saker Falcon**: This print showcases the saker falcon, a majestic bird of prey known for its speed and hunting abilities. The illustration provides a detailed view of the falcon's plumage and features, making it a valuable resource for ornithology enthusiasts.
2. **Norwegian Jer-Falcon**: The Norwegian jer-falcon is another remarkable bird of prey, and this print captures its distinctive appearance. Its portrayal in this antique print offers insight into the bird's physical characteristics.
3. **Eggs**: The set also includes illustrations of the eggs of these birds. These depictions are valuable for identifying and understanding the characteristics of these raptor species' eggs.
These prints are not only aesthetically pleasing but also serve as important historical references for the study of European bird species that were not commonly found in the British Isles during the 19th century.
