Ostrich: Authentic 176-year-old print, not a simple reproduction. • Edition: 1849. • Size: 24 X 15 cm. • Artist: E.douard Travies. • Condition: Very good, some usual signs of age. This print is taken from Charles d'Orbigny's Dictionnaire d'Histoire Naturelle, a 19th-century scientific work containing detailed plates and descriptions of the animal and plant kingdoms. Combining scientific rigor and artistic quality, each print accurately illustrates natural diversity, making this dictionary an educational and decorative document, ideal for framing and collecting. The ostrich is the largest of birds, with a massive body covered in black and white plumage in the male. Its long, bare neck and immense, powerful legs allow it to run at great speed. Its expressive gaze complements its imposing appearance. • Find all our lithographs and prints on our profile. • Send us a message with any questions. • Fast delivery and careful packaging for safe delivery. • To purchase multiple illustrations, contact us to arrange a discount and a single shipping fee.
