Henry Seebohm - 3 prints of birds eggs 1896
Seebohm
These original chromolithographs ares from the last work of the noted British ornithologist Henry Seebohm – Coloured Figures of the Eggs of British Birds (1896).
The prints illustrate eggs of plovers, woodcock, snipes, curlews and whimbrels.
Seebohm was born in Bradford, England. He was one of the first European ornithologists to accept the American trinomial system to classify sub-species. Organized by type: Shorebird, Songbird, and Bird of Prey and arranged by size, these egg plates are richly produced from a multitude of stones, allowing for subtle variation of color not commonly found in many egg prints.
Size: 6.5in x 10in (16cm x 26cm)
