Description:  Original antique print of the egg of the Great Auk from Seebohm.  This large bird egg has soft yellow and brown tones.  The antique bird egg print is beautifully detailed & richly colored with shadowing which makes the images seem three dimensional.  Margins are a little spotty, particularly the bottom margin, not affecting the images, slight age toning on edges.  Antique print condition is true to this scanned image, we do not re-touch our scans.
