Mrs Jemima Blackburn - Lithograph of The Water Rail 1862. This print is from the 1st edition of Birds Drawn from Nature by Jemima Blackburn, published in Edinburgh in 1862. These rare lithographs depict many different species of birds along with their nests & eggs, and are among some of the most endearing nest and bird illustrations of the period. Jemima Blackburn (1823-1909) was one of the most popular and talented ornithological illustrators of the Victorian era. By her early twenties she had earned the praise of Sir Edwin Landseer who said “in portraying animals, I have nothing to teach her”, and was called “the best illustrator I know” by John Ruskin. The print is in excellent condition on strong white paper. These prints are quite rare, as a very limited number of the 1st edition folio prints were published. Size: 10.5in x 14.5in. The print is in excellent condition. Please inspect the image carefully
