Beautiful Parakeets by Gould | 1940s Vintage Lithograph | Tropical Bird Wall Art

Brighten your space with the vivid charm of Beautiful Parakeets — an authentic vintage offset lithograph from the tropical bird series by John and Elizabeth Gould, printed circa 1940.

Also known as Psephotus pulcherrimus, this vibrant parakeet species was one of the most striking tropical birds documented by the Goulds during their prolific work in ornithology and illustration. Printed by Goes Lithographing Company on quality fine art paper, this piece measures 12 × 9 inches — the perfect accent for collectors of rare vintage bird art.

This vintage print can be paired beautifully with other exotic parakeets and tropical birds in our John & Elizabeth Gould Bird Lithographs Collection, including the New Hebrides Parakeets, Earl of Derby Parakeet, South American Macaw, and more.

More information

Just like the majority of our inventory at Pink Flamingos, this listing is vintage and has never been displayed or used. It's from limited, unopened stock sourced directly from the original manufacturer or distributer. As a result, its colors are more vibrant than those typically found in similarly aged prints, leading us to classify it as "new." Curious about new vintage?

Please note that this listing is for an unframed authentic, genuine old print published in the early-to-mid 20th century using quality paper and inks. It reflects the colors and styles popular in decorative accessories of that era. The patina resulting from any minor discoloration or fading is indicative of its age and contributes to its uniqueness.

What is "New Vintage"?

"New vintage" refers to original, vintage artwork from the early 20th century that has never been purchased, used, or displayed by a consumer. At Pink Flamingos, we offer a remarkable collection of these pristine prints, sourced directly from manufacturers. Unlike other vintage artwork that may have faded or aged over time, our "new vintage" prints retain their vibrant colors and impeccable condition. With their untouched allure, these artworks carry a unique historical value and provide collectors with an opportunity to own a piece of art history that is both rare and exceptionally well-preserved.
