Bird Chromolithographs
Hello, I have 3 framed and matted pieces which I believe may be chromolithographs. I am seeking confirmation on what they are and estimate value. There are 2 marks and what appear to be initials on each one. The frame are 16"x17" the images are approx 9"x10"

Hello Nancy,
Thank you for your appraisal inquiry with Mearto. I apologize for the delay in your appraisal and thank you for your patience. The items presented appear to be photo-offset lithographs after illustrations by John Gould (English, 1804 – 1881). The images were originally published in a folio titled "A Monograph of the Trogonidae, or Family of Trogons." The prints here appear to date to the 1970s or 1980s.
The estimate provided is based on recent auction estimates and results of this work
and other comparable reproduction lithographs after works by Gould and applies to the lot of three prints. The estimate is contingent on a full condition report. Please note asking or dealer prices may vary. Thank you and please take care.
