William Thomas Greene Art

An original 19th-century English color bird print from William Thomas Greene’s celebrated Parrots in Captivity, published in London by George Bell & Sons between 1884 and 1887. The three-volume work included 81 richly colored plates illustrating parrots, parakeets, cockatoos, macaws and related species. The illustrations were drawn by British artist Alexander Francis Lydon (1836–1917) and produced by renowned English wood engraver and printer Benjamin Fawcett (1808–1893). These antique bird prints were created using chromoxylography, a sophisticated Victorian process of color printing from wood blocks, with examples also described as hand finished and sometimes heightened with gum arabic.
