Set of four framed giclee reproductions of Parrots. All prints have the bird names in French at the bottom if you would like to do further study. The original prints we reproduced these from were hand colored copperplate engraving and our quality is so good they look like the real thing.
Image History: The giclee prints we make are from Jacques Barraband's Histoire Naturelle Des Perroquets. The work was published in 1801 by Jacques Barraband and Francois Levaillant in France. This work is considered by many to be the greatest ornithological work on parrots ever illustrated.
Framing: Framed in a Italian wood moulding that is hand finished leaving subtle differences on each frame so frame distressing will vary. The frame is .75 or 3/4 inches wide. The backer board is also acid free. We use framers grade acrylic for the glazing making the frames lighter for easy hanging and safer for shipping. Professional hanging wire is on the back with a dust cover.
Print: The giclee prints are made in USA and we only use the very best acid free cotton rag paper and archival inks to insure the prints looks its very best. The ink has a light fastness of over 160 years so it promises not to fade in our lifetime.
Size of each frame is about 13 inches wide and 17 inches tall.
