Description: THIS IS: ---a wonderfully framed original hand colored lithograph of 2 ducks, called Podiceps Auritus or Horned Grebe. THE frame is aprox 22 x 27 and the print shown is aprox 12 1/2 x 18 1/4", it is from John Gould's great book "The Birds of Great Britain" vol. 5. it has been professionally framed by Peregrine Framing out of Lincoln Mass. with Uv light blocking protection on the glass via "ThuGuard". the matting is well cut, the red and gold lines on the matting are hand done. the litho has been framed a bit tight as the name J. Gould & H C Richter is not shown at the bottom which would be just a hair under the Podiceps Auritus title and to the left. while Walter Imp would be to the right, i can see a tiny tear to the left of the Pociceps (see photo 5), so there may have been some damage to the sheet that is being covered up. likewise the Cattail on the right side of the plate extends a bit under the matting. i did not frame this, and it is so nicely framed that i am not going to open it up. but i wanted to let you know.(and yet i have another duck print from the same framer and they framed it similarly, so it may have more to do with the desired size of the framing when done, i really dont know)EITHER WAY IT LOOKS AWESOME. the colors are strong, the paper is white. YOU WILL BE PROUD TO DISPLAY THIS IN YOUR HOUSE. there is some light spotting on the plate, which is very common, but again the colors are so strong and nice and i love the detail of Gould's work, with the other pair of birds in the water to the left in the opening between the cattails, and of course the little bird resting on the cattail. so lovely and ready to hang. you need to do nothing except purchase. AWESOME. i am sure the price they paid to frame this is more than the price i am listing it at. (there is a nick on the wood frame, i dont try to mask or hide anything, you can easily cover this with a gold colored marker if you choose to) i leave everything just the way i get it. (except wiping down the glass, if need be). HAVE FUN.---i know how to pack, and shipping includes insurance (no worries) LOCATION-- box ( Hayes - Rack O left side)
