Full folio sheet about 15" x 22" from the 1849-1861 Monograph of the Trochilidae by John Gould. Excellent condition, with a few unobtrusive marks (It is NOT foxing, but probably ink specks) and very light marginal toning. Only about 30% of the John Gould Hummingbird prints have IRIDESCENCE. (The silver thing at the top is a stainless steel library clip temporarily holding the print to a vertical piece of black foam core.). $750.00 includes fully insured UPS Ground shipping to the U.S.
