Lemaire antique prints of exotic birds
The first edition of the Histoire Naturelle des Oiseaux Exotiques appeared in Paris in 1836. The authors of these antique prints with the engravings are the Pauquet brothers, who published them nearly 200 years ago. The beautiful antique prints depict a variety of exotic birds in all their natural splendor. In particular, parrots, parakeets, toucans, peacocks, hummingbirds, nutcrackers, blackbirds and many more.
