Description

This is a fabulously vibrant original colour lithograph of a blue faced parrot dating from around 1800.
From 1801-1805, François Levaillant and Jacques Barraband collaborated on the world’s best-known natural history work about parrots, Histoire Naturelle des Perroquets.
In this work, the birds seem to glow on the paper, giving off an inner vitality that comes from a brilliant use of color, a near-perfect rendering of feathers, and a breathtaking mastery of the printing process.
Barraband collaborated with Louis Bouquet and Langlois to create the engravings. The plates were then inked à la poupée (several of the same plates were inked with different colors carefully applied one over the other, as in modern color printing) then pulled from the press. Tonalities and shading were then added by hand.
This work is attractively framed in a good 19th century frame that measures 43 cms by 35 cm.
