Description from the seller
Original 19th-century lithograph, hand-colored, depicting two waders (Plate 80), illustrated by J.W. Hill and printed at “Lith. of Endicott, New York”.
The plate is attributed to the famous American natural history work Zoology of New-York – Part II: Birds by James E. De Kay, published in 1844.
The original inscriptions present:
* Plate 80
* Fig. 182
* Fig. 183
* J.W. Hill
* Lith. of Endicott, New York
This is an original lithograph of the period, not a modern reprint, ideal for collectors of antique prints, natural history and ornithology.

* light signs of aging;
* slight yellowing of the paper;
* some small foxing spots and light oxidation stains, visible mainly in white areas and along some edges;
