Description
Here's a handsome Long Crested Eagle or Lophaetus Occipitalis hanging out in his native South African habitat. The Long-crested Eagle (Lophaetus occipitalis) is a bird of prey. Like all eagles, it is in the family Accipitridae. It is currently placed in a monotypic genus Lophaetus. A relatively small eagle (about 55 cm), is found in Africa south of the Sahara, except in the arid zones. in southern Africa, it is a fairly common resident in the eastern areas. It inhabits woodlands, exotic plantations, & forest edges & mainly lives off rodents & shrews. 'Long Crested Eagle' is a lovely original full-color tipped-in lithograph illustration from 1914 Germany from my own collection of gorgeous wildlife prints illustrations from the Victorian & Edwardian eras. He measures 10" x 7.75" overall; the image itself is 5" x 8" & is printed on glossy stock paper with premium quality chromium inks & it's blank on the reverse side. The colors are still lively & bright 100 years later. This good lookin' guy would be simply awesome framed. Matted, framed, & displayed as a gallery grouping, these lovely natural history studies are simply spectacular. (Please note that the framed examples in the last photos are just to show how this might look when it's matted & framed. Your print will come to you unmatted & unframed.)
