A SET OF THREE 8x10’’ VINTAGE BIRDS PRINTS - DIGITALLY RESTORED ANTIQUE BOOK PAGES (NOT ORIGINALS) This listing is for unframed prints. Framed pictures are shown for illustrative purposes only. Each print in this set measures 8x10 inches / 20.32 x 25.4 cm. Printed in a professional photo lab on high quality photo paper with archival inks. Fantastic overall quality & so much detail - vintage style art at its absolute finest! A lovely set of three birds illustrations - Crane, Goose, & Heron. Colors are soothing & earthly, with dominating green & brown hues. These are not original book pages but reproductions. Images had been scanned from an old book, originally published in the 19th century. I have altered them in Photoshop by digitally restoring & skilfully enhancing them by removing imperfections in the paper & by applying a neutral, slightly antique-ed around edges background - but these artworks remain true to the original. Text was reprinted as unable to satisfactorily restore. The illustrations feature the names of each of the birds & trees. Original author of these gorgeous illustrations is John James Audubon (1785 - 1851), an American ornithologist, naturalist, & painter. He was notable for his extensive studies documenting all types of American birds & for his detailed illustrations that depicted the birds in their natural habitats. His major work, a color-plate book entitled ‘‘The Birds of America’’ (published between 1827 & 1839), is considered one of the finest ornithological works ever completed. Vintage illustrations are a simple & effective way to add an old-world charm, interest, warmth & character to your home interior. When displayed on a wall, side table, mantelpiece or shelf they become statement pieces & create an immediate focal point of any room as they display beautifully & complement many decor styles from traditional to more eclectic, following the notion that personal happiness can be improved through a beautiful home environment, healthy lifestyle & engagement with history & nature. I select images for my sets very carefully, to ensure they make an aesthetically pleasing, harmonizing assemblage. FRAMING Prints that I sell are NOT mounted or framed, so you are able to choose your own frames to suit your own taste & decor. There is a huge choice of 8x10 inches frames available to purchase online & in the shops, as this is one of the most popular standard frame sizes in the UK & the US. in the UK, I personally love shopping for frames in The Range online shop (this shop ships items within the UK only). There are some really nice frames that are extremely budget-friendly to buy, & they don’t look cheap or tacky, like these ‘‘Woodland’’ ones, for example: https://www.therange.co.uk/home-furnishings/picture-frames-and-wall-art/picture-frames/single-frames/textured-woodland-frame/#179838 More 8x10’’ frames from The Range:
