W. T. Greene (19th Century) Lithograph. Rosy-Faced Love Bird. 1884. Embossed letters on mat. Name of birds listed under them. Pair of rosy cheeked lovebirds. Each sitting on a small branch next to one another. Info on back on canvas. Overall Size: 16 x 13 1/2 in. Sight Size: 9 x 6 3/8 in. In 1884, W.T.Greene, Fellow of the Zoological Society of Great Britain, issued a series of color lithographs of Parrots, each hand touched with watercolor and varnish, emphasizing the feathers and shading in the sky in a tradition that brought together the science of lithography with the art of color-tinting. Greene was a parrot enthusiast and specialist, with strong and outspoken views on the merits of each parrot, lory, and cockatoo species in the wild. 'Parrots as a rule have as much individuality, not to say character, as human beings," he wrote. His plates emphasize this individuality and are much sought after by collectors. #1033 #1 Location G
