Three Impressions of Tropical Birds by Barraband

Period: circa 1960. These three framed prints of tropical birds are beautiful decorative pieces. The prints depict birds painted by the famous Jacques Barraband. Barraband was a renowned French zoological illustrator who worked with Levaillant to create the magnificent monograph titled "Histoire naturelle des perroquets." Barraband's work was impressive enough for him to be hired as a decorator by Napoleon. The prints are framed in vintage gilded wooden frames. Beneath the birds, you can see the name of the bird, the name of the artist, and two of them indicate the printing house (Langlois and Rousset). The birds are called: the black-capped macaw, the grey-headed parrot, the male manucode. Condition: good. The prints and colours are still very vivid and clear. There are some signs of oxidation/age on the frames, particularly the one with the red bird. This same print has a few small yellowish spots on the background of the paper. Dimensions: 33 cm high, 25.5 cm wide.
