Topic: Animals Image Size: 44 x 38 cm (also one horizontal: 38 x 27 cm) Size: Small (till 60 cm) These prints originate from: 'Svenska Foglar' by Magnus von Wright, published in 1917-1929, printed by A. Bortzells, Stockholm. (The first edition appeared between 1828 and 1837). The lithography on these plates is exquisite and very difficult to distinguish from hand-painting.

From 1828-1838 he worked on 'Svenska Foglar', a large illustrated collection of Swedish birds. From 1829 von Wright worked in Finland as a cartographer, taxidermist and art teacher. Besides numerous paintings of animals he also created many landscape paintings and still lifes. From 1849 until his death in 1868 he worked as a drawing teacher at the university.

By Jamie Wyeth
Located in Milford, NH
A fine limited edition color etching of a rooster titled “S.O.S.” by American artist Jamie Wyeth (b. 1946). Wyeth was born in Wilmington, DE and grew up in Chadd’s Ford, PA, the son of Andrew Wyeth, one of America’s most well known artists, and a grandson of the illustrator Newell Convers Wyeth.

He summered on Monhegan Island and became closely linked to the Monhegan art...
