Framed Italian Ornithological Bird Print of a Gull

An Italian ornithological print depicting a Larus gull, titled 'Gabbiano d'Tafferano mezzo moro'. The print features descriptive Latin and Italian text alongside the plate number DXXXII in the upper right. The illustration showcases the gull standing on a simple mound, rendered in subtle tones of grey, white, and black.

This print is housed in a simple wooden frame with a distressed gold-tone finish that shows significant wear, chips, and paint loss. The print itself exhibits authentic aging with visible discolouration and foxing across the surface. The back reveals a canvas-covered backing board within the wooden structure, showing considerable spotting and age, fitted with a single metal loop for hanging.
