Beskrivning
This set of six antique chromolithographs features single-species bird eggs, including those of the lark, pipit, red-backed shrike, owl, gull, and thrush. The illustrations originate from A Natural History of the Nests and Eggs of British Birds, a celebrated Victorian ornithological series by Francis Orpen Morris. Each plate presents a carefully rendered image of a single egg, centered and labeled with its species, showcasing the precision and subtle coloration typical of the chromolithographic technique.
Francis Orpen Morris (1810–1893) was a British clergyman and naturalist best known for his illustrated works on birds, butterflies, and eggs. His publications combined accessible scientific insight with visual elegance, contributing to the growing popularity of natural history in the 19th century.
