About the Item
Northern Goshawk – Astur gentilis – Original 1917 Lithograph from "Skandinaviens Fåglar"
Original antique bird print of the Northern Goshawk (Astur gentilis), identified in Swedish as Dufalk, ung fågel, ♂ (young male goshawk). This plate originates from the 1917 edition of Skandinaviens Fåglar (Birds of Scandinavia), published by Albert Bonniers Förlag in Stockholm. The work was one of the most beautifully illustrated ornithological publications of the early 20th century and features plates after illustrations by the famous wildlife artists William von Wright and Bruno Liljefors.
The image captures the powerful stance and feather pattern of the goshawk with remarkable precision and lifelike coloring. The bird stands on a moss-covered rock in natural surroundings, and the illustration style remains faithful to 19th-century traditions of scientific naturalism, blending aesthetic beauty with educational clarity.
The Northern Goshawk is a formidable bird of prey found across boreal and temperate forests in Europe and Asia. Known for its agility, keen eyesight, and powerful build, it has long held a place in falconry and ornithological studies alike. This print represents the male juvenile, with a characteristic barred chest and developing plumage, rendered in soft earth tones with fine detailing.
Condition: Very good. The print retains its original colors with no foxing or visible damage. Mounted in a cream and brown double mat, ready for framing. Plate impression and text are crisp and intact.
Framing tips: Best presented in a dark wood frame (e.g., walnut or mahogany) with non-reflective glass. The existing cream mat enhances the bird’s naturalistic tones, but olive green or slate grey mounts could also pair well.
Technique: Lithograph (color)
Maker: William von Wright, for Skandinaviens Fåglar, Stockholm, 1917
