About the Item
A stunning set of two early 20th-century ornithological plates, depicting the male Senegal oriole and the Cape starling. These birds are illustrated with remarkable precision and elegance, showcasing the fine craftsmanship of the era. The antique illustrations, possibly created using engraving (though not definitively confirmed), beautifully combine watercolor and engraving techniques, highlighting intricate details and vibrant colors.
Each print is housed in a period gold-gilded wooden frame, enhancing its authenticity and timeless appeal. The drawings exhibit natural signs of aging, with a charming patina featuring foxing and humidity marks, which add character and uniqueness to these historical pieces.
