Taschen, 2018. Hardcover. Color Illustrations. Conditie: As new. One of the first avian collections entirely dedicated to Parrots by the passionate and prodigiously talented Edward Lear who made his drawings from live parrots, capturing their expressions and movements in remarkably lifelike illustrations. The new medium of hand-colored lithography facilitated the vivid elegance of his work. This exquisite collection was originally reproduced in only 175 precious sets and sold by subscription to Britain's most eminent scholars and wealthy collectors of living parrots. The Psittacidae established Lear as a celebrated illustrator, and professor of drawing to the young Queen Victoria. With a brief zoological introduction and written descriptions of each bird, this title revives the author's era bringing Edward Lear's parrots back to life for all to admire.
