Set of 4 Antique Bird Prints of Eagles and their Eggs

About the Item

These four antique bird prints are part of a set depicting a tawny eagle, Pallas's sea eagle, booted eagle, and their eggs. They originate from the book titled 'A history of the birds of Europe, not observed in the British Isles,' authored by Charles Robert Bree and featuring illustrations by Benjamin Fawcett. The book was published circa 1860. 1. **Tawny Eagle**: This print showcases the tawny eagle, a majestic bird of prey known for its large size and keen eyesight. The illustration provides a detailed view of the eagle's plumage and features, making it a valuable resource for ornithology enthusiasts. 2. **Pallas's Sea Eagle**: Pallas's sea eagle is another impressive bird of prey, and this print captures its distinctive appearance. Its portrayal in this antique print offers insight into the bird's physical characteristics. 3. **Booted Eagle**: The booted eagle is known for its distinctive plumage and features, and this print provides a detailed representation of this species. 4. **Eggs**: The set also includes illustrations of the eggs of these birds. These depictions are valuable for identifying and understanding the characteristics of these raptor species' eggs. These prints are not only aesthetically pleasing but also serve as important historical references for the study of European bird species that were not commonly found in the British Isles during the 19th century. They offer a glimpse into the rich diversity of birdlife in Europe.
