Sobre este artículo
London, 1822. Very good overall. A handsome hand colored copper engraving of an Australian falcon perched on a branch, from Latham's 'General Synopsis of Birds'.
Dr. John Latham (1740 - 1847), the leading British ornithologist of his time, was a founding member of the Linnean Society, and through his work with the society became acquainted with the leading naturalists and collectors of the day. Many specimens and drawings of Australian birds were arriving in Britain following expeditions to Australia. Latham gave the first published descriptions and scientific names of Australian birds including the emu, lyre bird, magpie, and white cockatoo.
A good strong impression, on paper with wide margins. Faint smudging in the top margin only, not affecting the image. 'Plate XI', upper left corner. Paper 8 1/4 x 10 1/2"
