Print size in millimetres (approx): 420 x 300

Hieracidea Novae Zealandiae (Adult and Young). Illustration of the New Zealand Falcon [Karearea] from the book A history of the birds of New Zealand. Brilliant modern giclee print of the original hand-coloured lithograph by Johannes Keulemans. This extremely high quality print that shows how modern high resolution scanning combined with the latest giclee printing technology can breathe new life into an artwork that has been buried in the archive for decades. John Keulemans was a well respected Dutch artist of the nineteenth century. For each illustration for “Buller’s Birds” he first produced a drawing for Buller’s inspection, then a coloured painting, which served as the basis for each lithograph.
