Miles Griffiths Antiques Ltd has dated this piece to the 19th Century.
By Benjamin Fawcett, these prints were originally from Francis Orpen Morris's British Birds book. Fawcett was one of the finest English nineteenth century woodblock colour printers and had a close working relationship with Morris, which lasted nearly 50 years and had a profound effect on British ornithology.
Each print has the breed stated underneath.
They look amazing mounted on mass.
The breeds of birds are as follows: Squacco Heron / Temmicks Stint / Spotted Sandpiper / Missel Thrush / Broad billed Sandpiper / Turnstone / Dunnock / Rock thrush / Surf Scoter / Starling / Velvet Scoter / King Duck / Stellers Western Duck / Rose Coloured Pastor / Eider Duck / Garganey / Thrush / Alpine Accentor / Sanderling / Purple Sandpiper / Spotted Crake / Schinzs Sandpiper / Yellow Shanks / Sandpiper / Pectoral Sandpiper / Little Stint / Peep.
