PARROTS IN CAPTIVITY
VOLUME TWO Twenty seven
color-printed wood-engraved plates (chromoxylographs) on compact disc. by
Benjamin. Fawcett drawn by A. F. Lydon. 1884-1887
|
This CD presents 27 high resolution digital BMP images from the 1884-1887 first
edition of PARROTS IN CAPTIVITY VOLUME TWO.
These images can be printed directly from the CD or imported to Adobe Photoshop,
Adobe Illustrator, PaintShop Pro, Adobe PhotoDelux, PrintMaster and other
popular painting and drawing programs and printed on quality inkjet paper
producing stunning results suitable for framing. Or for designing your own
greeting cards, posters, brochures and calendars.
The print out size is the same size as the originals, if
not enlarged or reduced. I have found that these Images print best on Ink Jet
matte paper. When printed directly from the CD, they are the actual size. (The
same as the originals) and the result is an awesome print almost
indistinguishable as a reprint, even when using a relatively inexpensive home
ink jet printer.
Parrots in Captivity. By W. T. Greene 1884-87. Volume
two of three volumes produced from the original color-printed wood-engraved
plates (chromoxylographs) by Benjamin. Fawcett-the inventor of chromoxylography,
drawn by A. F. Lydon, All 27 plates have been digitally archived and transferred
to CD.
Greene was a popular author on cage birds, and this work on parrots, parakeets,
lories. Cookatoos, and macaws were well received. A contemporary review in the
Live Stock Journal remarked, "The artist and author combined gave the
collector a fine idea of the characteristics of these birds. The first book
devoted exclusively to parrots in captivity with an interesting anecdotal text
and excellent illustrations. Most Australian parrots are described and figured,
including rarities such as the Paradise Parrot (now extinct), Orange-bellied
Parrot and Ground Parrot REFERENCE: Ayer/Zimmer 274 Fine Bird Books 79;
McGill/Wood 368; Nissen, IVB 393; Nissen SVB 215
