Antiques : Art : Prints : Chromolithograph

 

This sweet antique print of birds is by the Victorian illustrator, Hector Giacomelli. These prints were the precursors to the yard long prints, and were entitled "A Foot of...", in this case "A Foot of Birds". This study has bluebirds, robins, finches, and many other colorful songbirds, perched on a wire. It is very *RARE*, and is in perfect condition with exceptional color. It is housed in a wooden frame with lovely brass corner embellishments. The corner stampings also are very sweet with a shell cartouche surrounded by little flowers and leaves. This old print was published by Demorest's Magazine in 1889.

Together with the frame, this study measures 7.75 x 15 inches. Absolutely endearing, this is indeed a fine example of old Victorian art. (There is also a foot of mice in my store!)
