Tīeke, South Island Saddleback and North Island Saddleback, Creadion carnuculatus (Adult and Young), hand-coloured lithograph by Johannes Keulemans. Plate 16 from A history of the birds of New Zealand, 1873. Extremely high quality modern reprint that shows how modern high resolution scanning of an antique print combined with the latest giclee printing technology can breathe new life into an artwork that has been buried in the archive for decades. This is a brilliantly produced print that pops with colour and detail.
