Editor/Artist: Frances Morris
Each of these prints was meticulously removed from a disbound - damaged 149 year old book, Morris's British Birds Vol. III.
Due to the natural aging process, the prints are age toned and some may have very small foxing marks or dots which adds to the patina of that era.
These qualities are perfectly normal for prints of this type and age and add more character to the print.
The paper is an off-white color, though it may appear brighter white due to the scanner. The paper is thick, slightly textured and without any sheen.
They will look fabulous matted and framed or in a collage on that special wall. You can't beat this price.
These prints are rare and highly sought after and they sell for much higher prices elsewhere on the internet and antique stores.
I guarantee you that these are original prints, not reproductions or reprints and was taken from a book of that era.
The prints will be shipped in a stiff envelope and an acid free plastic sleeve with card board
supporting it.

Morris' popular work on British Birds first appeared in 6 volumes in 1850-1857, and it subsequently went through several editions. The work deals broadly with individual species, their distribution, occurrence, and habits. A notable feature of this work is the many figures of British birds depicted on the plates, for which the wood-blocks were originally engraved and printed by Benjamin Fawcett, Driffield, largely from drawings by the author's friend, Rev. Richard Alington.
Francis Orpen Morris (1810-1893) was a Church of England clergyman and naturalist. He was a prolific writer on natural history subjects.
