A Set Of 19th Century Framed Bird Engravings By Edward Lear portrait early 18th Century mixed woodA fine set of four 19th Century hand coloured engravings of pigeons, by Edward Lear. These are presented in our handmade copies of an original Regency frame. These frames are made in our workshop, using the traditional methods of wood, plaster, gesso, bole and gilding with 23 carat gold leaf. The glass mounts are decorated with the Verre Eglomise technique. They are subtly aged and finished with a period or hand cast brass picture ring for hanging.
