Print French Bird 1950s Nature Jacques Barraband Le Geai Orange Vintage 

Jacques Barraband’s rendering skills are unparalleled. His prints of birds remain among the most life-like in natural history art. His luminously colored engravings, combined with Francois Levaillant’s exact ornithological depictions represent a high point in the history of ornithological art.

In his work, the birds seem to glow on the paper, giving off an inner vitality that comes from a brilliant use of color, a near- perfect rendering of feathers, and a breathtaking mastery of the printing process. Jacques Barraband collaborated with Louis Bouquet (1765—1814) and Langlois to create the engravings. The plates were then inked à la poupée, an early method of color printing.
