Earl of Derby Parakeet by Gould | 1940s Vintage Lithograph | Tropical Bird Wall Art
Celebrate the elegance of tropical birds with the Earl of Derby Parakeet — an authentic vintage offset lithograph from John and Elizabeth Gould’s renowned parakeet series, printed circa 1940.
The Earl of Derby Parakeet, also known as Psittacula derbiana, is prized for its striking green plumage and distinctive head markings. This species, originally documented in the 19th century by the Goulds, is named in honor of Edward Stanley, the 13th Earl of Derby, a well-known British naturalist and bird collector.
This lithograph was printed by Goes Lithographing Company on heavy fine art paper and measures about 12 × 9 inches — a timeless tropical accent for any vintage bird collection or gallery wall.
The Gould tropical bird print collection available from Pink Flamingos includes: New Hebrides Parakeets, Beautiful Parakeets, Earl of Derby Parakeet (top); South American Macaw, Pennant's Parakeets, Yellow Rump Parakeets (bottom). Each of these prints measure about 10" wide by 12" tall and are printed on heavy paper by Goes Lithographing circa 1940–1960.
