This is a lovely hand-colored Lithograph of a Bird, FIRE-CREST

Some time in the past, someone has cut this circle from a larger page of various birds. It is round measuring 7 7/8" in diameter. There is a brown mat, hand-lined 1 3/8" wide. I have taken this one apart to clean the glass. In peeping under the mat, there is part of another bird showing that it was cut from a full page. Even more unusual is the name of the bird, FIRECREST is hand-lettered with the penciled alignment lines of a draftsman. A piece of wood has been cut in the same diameter. The print along with the backing, mat, and glass are sandwiched and help in place with a brown braid. The appearance is that this was used as a trivet. I bought 5 of these with different birds. They would make a great grouping on a wall. I am selling them separately since the condition varies. This one is in excellent condition. I scanned the print without its glass in order to eliminate glare. Very clean condition.
