This is a framed original 19th century hand-colored folio-sized lithograph entitled “Strix Flammea” (Barn Owl) by John Gould, from his "Birds of Great Britain", published in London between 1862 and 1873. The print depicts an adult Barn Owl perched on a log its three baby owls to the left. Another adult owl in the background on the right, presumably a male, watches over his family. There are leaves on the right contributing to this pleasant landscape composition. This striking framed Gould hand-colored lithograph is presented in an ornate gold-colored wood frame, a gold-colored fillet and a cream-colored French mat with a prominent ecru-colored band and a thinner mauve band. The frame measures 32" high, 25.5" wide and 1.5." thick. The print and frame are in excellent condition.
