This framed antique Garden Warbler print was made by wood engraving in 1855. It is in in excellent condition and is an original antique from the rare edition of Reverend Francis Orpen Morris "A Natural History of the Nests & Eggs of British Birds". It has been framed and measures approximately 12" x 15" x 3/4". Morris acquired a reputation for writing popular essays on natural history and in particular on birds. His first book was an arrangement of British birds and was published in 1834. About this time he formed a close working association with Benjamin Fawcett (1808–1893), a local printer. This relationship would last nearly 50 years and have a profound effect on British ornithology. Benjamin Fawcett was arguably the most accomplished of nineteenth century woodblock color printers.
