Vintage Ornithological Lithograph, 1920s
Printed by Weissenbruch S.A.
This refined early-20th-century lithograph captures four exotic birds perched gracefully on winding branches. Created in the 1920s and printed by the renowned Belgian printing house Weissenbruch S.A., the work reflects the exceptional craftsmanship and precise color techniques for which the atelier was widely known.
The illustration originates from the studies of Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon, one of the most influential naturalists of the Enlightenment era. Buffon’s meticulous observations of wildlife helped shape modern zoology, and his bird illustrations remain treasured for their scientific accuracy paired with artistic elegance.
Rich tones of teal, brown, and deep blue highlight fine feather details, while delicate linework evokes the timeless aesthetics of classic natural history prints. Beautifully preserved and mounted in a vintage frame, this lithograph is not only a decorative piece, but also a meaningful artifact of natural science and art history.
A striking addition to interiors with a love for ornithology, vintage illustration, or sophisticated botanical décor.
