It is believed to be the work of Benjamin Fawcett, possibly with the help of his former apprentice Alexander Francis Lydon, who provided illustrations for W.T. Greene's book "Parrots in Captivity" when it was first published in 1884.
Showcasing vibrant hues and fine details, this hand-colored wood engraving is a valuable reference for those keeping parrots as pets.
