Antique engraving 1849 - Macaw by E. Travies - Vintage parrot lithograph

Macaw: Authentic 176-year-old print, not a reproduction. • Edition: 1849. • Size: 15 X 24 cm. • Artist: E. Édouard Travies. • Condition: Very good, some minor signs of age. The artist of this work is Édouard Traviès de Villers (1809–1876), a French animal painter, illustrator, and lithographer, particularly known for his depictions of birds and insects. Charles d’Orbigny’s Dictionary of Natural History is a 19th-century scientific work, bringing together plates and detailed descriptions of the animal and plant kingdoms. Combining scientific rigor and artistic quality, each engraving precisely illustrates natural diversity, making this dictionary an educational and decorative document, ideal for framing and collecting. The macaw sports spectacular plumage blending blue, red, green, and yellow in a tropical splendor. Its large, powerful, curved beak allows it to crack hard seeds. Its lively appearance and resonant calls make it a charismatic bird. • Find all our lithographs and prints on our profile. • Send us a message with any questions. • Fast shipping and careful packaging for safe delivery. • For the purchase of multiple prints, contact us to arrange a discount and combined shipping.
