The color wood engravings of nests and eggs with hand color finishing, printed by Benjamin Fawcett, known for the finest color printing of the time are on medium weight paper, blank on the reverse. The egg and nest prints have a biscuit color background which varies slightly from print to print. Morris Nest and Egg prints are highly collectable.
Beautiful blue tone egg and some blues in the nest. Age toning to paper edges with some minor scattered foxing to margins. Otherwise good condition.
