Description: ORIGINAL ANTIQUE JOHN GOULD (1804-1881) 'GRAUCULUS MENTALIS; VIG & HORSF (VARIED GRACULUS CUCKOO)' HAND COLORED LITHOGRAPH FROM 'BIRDS OF AUSTRALIA (PUBLISHED 1840-1848 This is just a great original piece. I have been buying more and more John Gould original prints lately as I am finding they are coming back into favor. I have been selling more to younger people lately then I ever did. That is why I was excited to buy a great collection of original Goulds as well as other important 19th Century bird prints. Some really beautiful works in outstanding condition and framed, ready to hang. A great opportunity to pick up some special works for your collection at a fraction of what the high end print shops sell them for, unframed. Dont miss this opportunity. Happy to combine shipping if you are interested in a couple or more. This is one of Gould's works from his Birds of Australia. Overall it is in good condition. Simple hinging at the top. Colors show some fading but not too bad. Some consistent toning to the page as well as a toning box from the non archival matte. The print was slipped in the matte as well so there is a toning line across the bottom edge.The bottom margin shows some wrinkling and it looks as though the framing instructions were written in pencil lower left. It is under the matte though. Top corner shows some tape residue as well. Overall still a very good example. Very nice frame ready to hang. Frame measures 26 3/4 x 20 1/4 inches. Add only $8 more for S&H&I if you purchase a second. I dont believe it is safe to package more than 2 in a single box. CHECK THE PICTURES ON THIS GREAT PIECE. DONT MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY.
