17 x 21" Gould & Hart (1850-83) ACTINODURA WALDENI Birds of Asia Hand Colored

Description: For Sale: J. Gould & W. Hart (1850-83) Hand Colored Litho. Birds of Asia Actinodura waldeni - Streak-Throated Barwing Here’s an exceptional find! This hand-colored antique print from John Gould’s “The Birds of Asia” dates from between 1850-83. This piece elegantly displays two Streak-Throated Barwings (Actinodura waldeni). The gorgeously detailed birds are perched in a flowering tree, a perfect spring-time representation!The words on the piece are, from left to right: “J.Gould & W.Hart, del et lith.”; “ACTINODURA WALDENI, Godwin – Austen.”; “Walter, Imp.” Unlike the contemporary reproductions of Gould’s work, these are hand-colored and not printed lithographs, as evidenced by the lack of a dot matrix under a lens. This dates them as an original part of the 1850-83 editions.The piece is framed behind glass in its original, antique, lacquered, quarter-sawn oak frame. A muted gold gilt accent enhances the transition between the frame and the image. Print comes ready to hang, out of the box.Condition: The print and frame are in EXCELLENT condition. The frame has some light surface wear, but nothing that greatly detracts from the presentation. The print is mostly clean with some exceedingly minor light foxing.Measurements (approx): Frame size: 17” x 21.5” x 1.4” thickDisplayed image size: 13” x 17.5” I offer a 30-day money-back refund if you are not satisfied with your purchase for any reason if the item is returned in the same condition as to how it was sent.
