    Description

    Antique Nest and Egg Prints from British Rev. F.O. Morris Nightingale and Stonechat.  Each print portrays the nest and egg of a bird native to the British Isles. The wood engravings were done by the well-known British engraver Benjamin Fawcett.
    Following is a review of the guide from the 1800s: "This work gives the fullest information respecting the localities and construction of their nests, the number and peculiarities of their eggs, and all the instruction requisite for determining to what species they belong. Each egg is figured and minutely described, and a number of nests are accurately drawn from specimens."
    These are framed in matching frames, 8 3/4" wide x 10 3/4". I found these prints in a amaizing house in the East Hampton.  It was filled with antiques, art and all things beautiful.
