W. T. Greene

 The xylographic plates, or wood-engravings,  below are cut from the first and only edition of William Thomas Greene's classic three-volume Parrots in Captivity, published by George Bell, London, 1882-87.  The parrots were colored by Benjamin Fawcett and based on drawings by Alexander F. Lydon. W. T. Greene: "In almost every instance, the plates have breen drawn and colored from life, and are scarcely to be exceeded in any ornithoglogical work,  at least of a popular character, with which we are acquainted."  

   Size: 9.75 x 6.5 inches
