Plover: Authentic 176-year-old print, not a simple reproduction. • Edition: 1849. • Size: 15 X 24 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 plover sports elegant black and white plumage, with a dark mask around its eyes. Its rounded wings and lively appearance make it a graceful river bird. Its delicate, light bearing attracts the eye. • 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.
