We are pleased to offer a selection of prints from the 1st edition of “Birds Drawn from Nature” by Jemima Blackburn, published in Edinburgh in 1862. These rare lithographs depict many different species of birds along with their nests & eggs, and are among some of the most endearing nest & bird illustrations of the period.

Jemima Blackburn (1823-1909) was one of the most popular and talented ornithological illustrators of the Victorian era. By her early twenties she had earned the praise of Sir Edwin Landseer who said “in portraying animals, I have nothing to teach her,” and was called “the best illustrator I know” by John Ruskin.

Each print is in excellent condition on thick, high quality paper accompanied by its descriptive text, and a copy of the title page.  All our prints are authentic antique prints and guaranteed to be from the date stated. These prints are about 160 years old.
