Swoon!!! This one is my new favorite!  This amazingly beautiful print comes from an 1870's Natural History book! I spent a ridiculous amount of money on this book just to get this image and then I spent a ridiculous amount of time...  hours and hours, playing with this one today, to give you guys numerous options. Really, I just couldn't stop myself! Anyway, this is a fantastic image of a beautiful Bird inside of a Glass Cloche, with Garlands of Roses and Vines Swagging along the bottom. So many glorious details!!  I've included an Instant Art Printable of the original Sepia Toned image. A black and white version, a full color version, and 3 single colored versions, that look a bit like Toile I think.  I hope you will enjoy them!

Your kindness/generosity to do this without any other remuneration but a thanks from your readers is just unbelievable. I now call your Graphics Angel instead of Graphics fairy :) Thanks so much!!!!!

  13. Love this one- especially the original sepia version. It reminds me of my Grandmother's Victorian vases under cloches but the bird image is even better than the flowers on those.

  30. That's a melancholy image, if you think about it... these Victorian people had a bird and loved him so much that when he died they stuffed him and put him under glass. "Our Pet." Aw.

  31. Your full color version is masterful. I've tried a bit of this, and even though I'm a novice, I can appreciate the enormous amount of attention you lavished on this print. Thank you so much for this luxurious version of a fabulous image.
