Majestic Gaze: The Golden Eagle (Aquila chrysaetos), 1929

About the Item

This print from the "Svenska Fåglar Efter Naturen Och På Sten Ritade" series features the Golden Eagle, Aquila chrysaetos, known in Swedish as "Kungsörn." The eagle is portrayed in a regal stance, perched on a rocky outcrop, which conveys its dominion over the mountainous landscapes it typically inhabits. The artist has captured the Golden Eagle's impressive stature and keen eyesight with a lifelike representation of its physical features. The bird's plumage is intricately detailed, with various shades of dark brown and golden feathers that highlight its name. The lighter golden nape contrasts with the darker feathers on the eagle's back and wings, while the tail showcases the characteristic white band of juvenile Golden Eagles, suggesting this may be a portrayal of a younger individual. Its powerful talons grasp the rock, showcasing the bird’s strength and its role as a top predator. The hooked beak is depicted open, perhaps ready to emit a powerful call, and the eagle's sharp gaze is directed outward, suggesting a vigilant watch over its territory. The print shows a remarkable attention to detail in the textural depiction of the bird's feathers and the rocky ground, with soft tufts of grass adding a touch of delicate greenery. This artwork, in very good condition, is a testament to the enduring legacy of such natural history illustrations, combining scientific accuracy with artistic beauty to capture the grandeur of one of the most revered birds of prey in the world. This is an original and NOT a reproduction!

The Majestic Golden Penciled Chicken - A Rare 19th Century Poultry Lithograph
Located in Langweer, NL
The Majestic Golden Penciled Chicken A Rare 19th Century Poultry Lithograph This exquisite 19th century chromolithograph features a pair of Golden Penciled chickens, a breed known for its striking feather pattern, refined body shape, and graceful presence. The print, titled Goudpellen, originates from Geïllustreerd Hoenderboek, an Illustrated Poultry Book published in 1888 by Elsevier. Compiled by Julius Volschau and adapted for Dutch readers by Dr. A. C. Oudemans Jzn., this book provided detailed insights into poultry breeding, showcasing both practical and ornamental breeds that were highly valued in the 19th century. The Golden Penciled variety is known for its intricate feather markings, especially in the hens, which display an elegant gold and black penciling pattern across their bodies. The roosters are equally impressive, with a rich golden-red hue, an upright stance, and a gracefully arched tail. This breed was admired not only for its aesthetic appeal but also for its active and hardy nature, making it a popular choice among poultry enthusiasts in the 19th century. This lithograph was created using chromolithography, a sophisticated 19th century printing technique that allowed for vibrantly detailed and richly colored illustrations. The artwork is based on an original drawing by Christian Förster, a skilled animal illustrator of the time. Chromolithographs were produced by layering multiple colors, each applied with a separate stone plate, ensuring depth and realism in the final print. The precision in rendering the feather texture and vibrant golden tones in this lithograph highlights the artistry involved in this technique. Condition Summary The print remains in very good condition, with well preserved colors and sharp details. Some minor age related toning and light foxing spots are visible, particularly along the edges, which is common in lithographs of this period. The paper remains stable, with minimal signs of wear, making this an excellent collectible piece for antique poultry print...
