Antique Bird Print of the Seabird Named Dusky Shearwater by Gould, 1832

About the Item

Antique bird print titled 'Dusky Shearwater'. Old bird print depicting the dusky shearwater. This print originates from 'Birds of Europe' by J. Gould (1832-1837). Audubon's shearwater (Puffinus lherminieri) is a common tropical seabird in the petrel family. Sometimes known as the dusky-backed shearwater, the specific epithet honours the French naturalist Félix Louis L'Herminier. Certain populations are known variously as Baillon's shearwater, tropical shearwater, Bannerman's shearwater, Mascarene shearwater and Persian shearwater; some of these are considered distinct species by various authors. If they are all placed in P. lherminieri, the North Atlantic little shearwater (otherwise often separated as P. baroli) is generally included here too. Thus, these small shearwaters form a cryptic species complex. Artists and Engravers: John Gould (1804 - 1881) was an English ornithologist and bird artist. Condition: Very good, general age-related toning. Holes outside image and some tiny marginal tears. Please study image carefully. We also offer thousands of antique prints covering fields of interest as diverse as architecture, natural history, religion, ethnology and many more. Antique prints have long been appreciated for both their aesthetic and investment value. They were the product of engraved, etched or lithographed plates. These plates were handmade out of wood or metal, which required an incredible level of skill, patience and craftsmanship. Whether you have a house with Victorian furniture or more contemporary decor an old engraving can enhance your living space.
