Lot 110148: Jacob Studer - Pileated and Hairy Woodpeckers by Theodore Jasper 1888
We are delighted to offer these brilliantly colored chromolithographs from The Birds of America: Drawn and Colored from Nature by Jacob H. Studer. Published under the auspices of The Natural Science Association of America 1888.
The drawings were by Theodore Jasper, a German American illustrator and physician by profession, who pursued a lifelong interest in ornithology.
The folio contains many beautiful illustrations drawn and coloured from life by Thomas Jasper showing the different species and varieties of North American birds, with their habitat and characteristics.
The birds are artistically arranged on the page in their natural habitat in a universally appealing manner.
The quality of the chromolithographs is very fine, printed with a biscuit background on fine paper.
Size: approx. 11.5in x 14.75in (29cm x 37.5cm)
