Lear, Edward
Illustrations of the Family of Psittacidae, or Parrots
London, 1832 - English

This album contains the €nest parrot
illustrations ever produced, conveying the carriage and
expression of each bird with stunning artistry. It was drawn,
lithographed, and published on a shoestring by Lear in a tiny
edition; soon after, his vision permanently impaired, Lear
turned to landscapes and the nonsense verse and images for which
he is best known today. Commentary by Robert McCracken Peck.
