No Binding. Condition: Very Good. An original antique hand-coloured engraving, mounted (matted) and ready to frame. The colouring is contemporary and is delicate and most pleasing, as were the all the products of his Driffield workshop. A plate produced for "Les Oiseaux Gibier", by H de la Blanchère, Edited par J Rothschild, 187…6, from woodblocks by Fawcett of Driffield, originally drawn for "British Game Birds and Wildfowl" by Beverley R Morris, first published in 1855. This plate has never been bound into a volume, probably originating from Fawcett's original stock. An unusual Benjamin Fawcett association item - no reference to the plates appears in McLean's Fawcett bibliography. Scan sent on request. The print shows the Golden Plover in its winter and summer plumage. Engraved By Fawcett of Driffield (illustrator).
