Pigeons G542 $45
Each print measures approximately 6 3/4 inches by 10 3/4 inches.

We are pleased to offer prints from the French work of Felix Edward Guerin-Meneville’s Dictionnaire Pittoresque d’Histoire Naturelle, published in Paris 1836-1839. Guerin-Meneville (1799-1874) was an entomologist who has several beetles named after him, and a prodigious publisher of these wonderfully creative & inspirational books. These highly decorative plates are vividly hand colored engravings. The volumes are an eclectic collection of curious and wonderful images of birds, fish, insects, fruit, flowers and people, and was termed an Atlas. Each print is a masterpiece of composition, often with a mélange of different creatures and plants artfully arranged on the same plate.

The prints are in excellent condition, with the paper is still a soft aged white on most & strong, with little or no foxing. Some are lightly & evenly toned. Each print measures approximately 6 3/4 inches by 10 3/4 inches. There is no descriptive text, as these prints were bound separately from the text, which has not survived. A copy of the title page is included with each print. The hand coloring is very bright and intense, and the plates are often signed and dated by A Carie Baron, Pedretti, du Casse, Adolphe Fries, de Sainson or Varin. Please review the photos carefully as they are very accurate.
