Details: In New Condition, an Elephant Folio comprised of 42 individual leaves of plates, each plate a scientific illustration of parrots rendered by Edward Lear.each in magnificent, truly exquisite detail and vivid color (see accompanying photos). The entire portfolio of leaves is presented in a clam shell case. Included is a 32 page softcover of the same size with a brief zoological introduction and written descriptions of each bird. (Multi-lingual English, German, and French) on both Lear's book, and the biology of parrots. Seller's Notes:After acquiring two new sets of this work fifteen years ago, I had one complete set (42 plates) framed and wall-mounted thus creating my personal aviary of Edward Lear's exquisitely executed renderings.

In the 19th century parrots were highly prized by the aristocracy and patrons of the arts. Lear's The Parrots, comprised the first illustrations of it's kind from living birds.
