Antique George Edwards Engraving

An 18th-century hand-colored engraving of a pelican by George Edwards, elegantly framed in burl wood with triple linen matting. Edwards, often called the father of British ornithology, produced this detailed illustration as part of his natural history series. Coral reef details and period script lend it a refined, coastal feel—ideal for a study, powder room, or collected gallery wall.
