Collection of Swedish Birds

This collection of pairs of Swedish birds is by the Finnish artists Magnus von Wright (1805 - 1868) and Wilhelm von Wright (1810 - 1887) who were well known in the 1800s as both artists and ornithologists. They captured details and colours not previously seen. These colourful chromolithographs were produced around 1920 by the Swedish lithographer A. Bortzells of Stockholm. Beautifully framed in bespoke Italian wooden frames behind white water glass which cuts reflection and affords some protection to the prints. Conservation grade backing
