This set of eight antique chromolithographs presents beautifully detailed renderings of bird eggs, each centered on a minimalist background and clearly labeled. Among the species included are the Eagle Owl, Red-breasted Flycatcher, Cuckoo, Gull, Heron, Roller, Curlew, and Ouzel. These plates are taken from A Natural History of the Nests and Eggs of British Birds, a foundational Victorian ornithological series by Francis Orpen Morris. The prints are exemplary of 19th-century chromolithographic excellence, with fine attention to texture and color fidelity.
Francis Orpen Morris (1810–1893) was a British clergyman and naturalist best known for his illustrated works on birds, butterflies, and eggs. His publications combined accessible scientific insight with visual elegance, contributing to the growing popularity of natural history in the 19th century.
