Large 28" x 21" Vintage Framed Prints of Parrots ivory Christ 1900-1920s in rare fine formThese 2 large prints are 'apres' or after (copies) the early 1800s illustrations by Francois Levaillant & Jacques Barraband's Histoire naturelle des perroquets. The work was published in Paris by Levrault Freres in 1801. Ours are not original prints, but the theme and presentation is so popular, several fine quality reproductions have been created over the 2 centuries since. These have the look, hanging on the wall, but I think they'd date mid 1900s.
