Large 19th Century John Gould Hand Coloured Lithograph Pheasants Print from "Birds of Asia". There is toning to the paper and some damage. The backing board is cardboard and this and the print are paper is brittle, this has caused crumbling to 2 areas on the edge, the larger (on the left side) is 1" deep from the edge, There is another area of crumbling to the middle top but this is on the backing board only. I have taped these are the back to prevent further damage. There is tear / gouge to the top left, a scratch to the right middle edge, and a gouge to the top middle. All of this damage mentioned so far can be hidden in an appropriate frame.
There is some smaller areas of damage to the design itself, a scratch on the larger bird and a scratch on the smaller, and a scratch on the ground/leaves. There are also multiple dirt marks.
The text on the bottom left border is faded but you can just make out "Gould".
It measures circa 36cm x 55.5cm (picture only, excluding the backing board)
