Lesson - Pair of Engravings of Birds of Paradise
This hand-colored copper-plate engraving is from Rene Primevere Lesson’s Histoire naturelle des oiseaux de paradis et des epimaques. The work was published in Paris by Arthur Bertrand between 1834 and 1835. Lesson, a French naturalist and explorer, traveled on la Coquile and became enthralled with the remarkable birds. He employed top natural history artists, Pretre and Bevalat, to create the drawings for his noted work.
Provenance: Book plate reads Alis Volat Propriis John Eliot Thayer
The work is in very good to excellent condition. There may be some faint toning to the paper from this work. There may be a few minor imperfections to be expected with age. Please review the image carefully for condition and contact us with any questions.
