Wild Geese on a Rocky Shore – Elegant Antique Bird Chromolithograph c.1880
Located in Langweer, NL
Wild Geese on a Rocky Shore – Elegant Antique Bird Chromolithograph c.1880 This atmospheric late 19th-century ornithological chromolithograph depicts a pair of wild geese standing along a calm, rocky shoreline, with shallow water, scattered stones, and distant landforms creating a serene coastal backdrop. One bird is shown upright and alert, while the second rests lower to the ground, forming a balanced and natural composition that conveys both companionship and quiet observation. The geese are rendered with careful attention to plumage pattern, posture, and proportion. Warm brown and ochre tones dominate the bodies, contrasted by softer greys, muted greens, and subtle white markings on the wings. The surrounding landscape is treated with restraint, allowing the birds to remain the focal point while still grounding them convincingly in their natural habitat. Such scenes were characteristic of late 19th-century bird illustration, where natural history was presented not only as scientific documentation but also as refined visual art. Printed using chromolithography, this work benefits from smooth color transitions and layered tonal depth. The calm blues and greens of the water and sky harmonize beautifully with the earthy colors of the birds and shoreline. Fine detailing in the feathers and gentle reflections in the water demonstrate the high technical standard of chromolithographic bird prints from this period. This print is well suited to collectors of antique bird prints, waterfowl imagery, and natural history illustration. It also works exceptionally well in interior settings such as country houses, coastal homes, studies, or contemporary spaces seeking a calm, nature-inspired focal point with historical character. Condition report Good antique condition. Light foxing and mild age-related toning visible, mainly in the margins, consistent with chromolithographs of this period. The image area remains clean and well colored, with no major tears or losses observed. Framing tips Best presented with a wide off-white or soft beige mat and a simple natural wood, walnut, or black frame. This enhances the subtle color palette and gives the print a timeless, museum-style appearance. Keywords antique bird print, wild geese illustration, waterfowl art...

Mallard Duck Family – Antique Bird Chromolithograph with Ducklings c.1880
Located in Langweer, NL
Mallard Duck Family – Antique Bird Chromolithograph with Ducklings c.1880 This charming late 19th-century ornithological chromolithograph depicts a mallard duck family (Anas platyrhynchos), showing two adult birds accompanied by a group of downy ducklings at the water’s edge. The scene is set within a gently landscaped riverside environment, with reeds, grasses, and a pollarded tree framing the composition, reflecting the period’s preference for naturalistic habitat depiction alongside accurate zoological detail. The mallard, also known as the wild duck or common duck, is one of the most recognizable and widely distributed waterfowl species in Europe. In this print, the adults are shown in calm interaction near shallow water, while the ducklings cluster nearby, their soft plumage and tentative posture rendered with notable sensitivity. The image balances scientific clarity with a narrative, almost pastoral quality that was especially valued in late 19th-century natural history illustration. Executed as a chromolithograph, the print displays rich yet restrained coloration. Subtle greens and browns dominate the landscape, harmonizing with the patterned plumage of the ducks and the warm tones of the ducklings. The technique allows for smooth color transitions and fine detailing, particularly visible in the feather patterns and reflections in the water. Such prints were often produced for educational atlases and popular natural history books, intended to appeal to both scholars and a broader audience. This work is ideal for collectors of antique bird prints, waterfowl imagery, or pastoral wildlife scenes. It also suits interior settings ranging from country houses and coastal homes to nurseries, kitchens, or refined contemporary interiors, where its gentle subject matter and balanced palette add warmth and character. Condition report Good antique condition. Light foxing and mild age-related toning visible in the margins, consistent with chromolithographs of this period. Image area remains fresh and well-colored. No major tears or losses observed. Framing tips Frame with a wide off-white or soft beige mat and a natural wood, walnut, or simple black frame. This enhances the calm landscape tones and gives the print a timeless, museum-style presentation. Keywords antique bird print, mallard duck illustration, wild duck, ducklings print, waterfowl art...
