Keulemans Common Crane with Young. Hand-coloured lithograph c1872.

by Keulemans, John Gerrard

Common Crane with Young - Grus Communis Keulemans antique print, exquisitely delineated and superbly coloured by JGK.

Original hand-coloured lithograph by eminent bird illustrator and naturalist John Gerrard Keulemans (1842-1912) for "A History of the Birds of Europe" published in London between 1870 and 1876 by Henry Eeles Dresser.

Keulemans' skill in the art of lithography is evident in this charming and well executed hand-coloured lithograph. In 1869 fellow ornithologist and colleague of John Gould, Richard Bowdler-Sharp persuaded the well-travelled Dutchman Keulemans to move from Brussels to London, the most important centre for publications illustrating birds.

Size of plate, as published, is 325 x 255 mm (12 3/4 inches x 10 inches)
