About the Item

Title: 1862 Trio of Yellow-Breasted Tits - Rare Hand-Colored Lithograph from Carl Hoffmann's *Book of the World* Description: This 1862 hand-colored lithograph showcases three striking Yellow-Breasted Tits perched on a tree branch surrounded by lush foliage. The bright yellow and green plumage of the birds contrasts beautifully with their black and white head markings, creating a vivid and lively depiction. The fine details of the feathers and foliage are accentuated by the delicate hand-coloring, typical of the high-quality lithographs found in Carl Hoffmann's *Book of the World*. The birds are depicted in dynamic poses, with one bird curiously pecking at the tree bark while the others are perched alertly, showcasing their natural behavior. This rare print combines the scientific precision necessary for ornithological study with the aesthetic elegance characteristic of 19th-century natural history illustrations. It remains a remarkable example of the artistry and attention to detail in bird depictions of this era.
