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

Add an exotic splash of color with the New Hebrides Parakeets — an authentic vintage offset lithograph from John and Elizabeth Gould’s tropical bird series, printed circa 1940.

These striking birds, inspired by parakeet species native to the New Hebrides archipelago (modern-day Vanuatu), showcase the vivid green and red plumage typical of tropical parrots. The Goulds’ attention to detail captures their lively posture and unique markings beautifully.

Printed by Goes Lithographing Company on heavy fine art paper, this original lithograph measures about 12 × 10 inches — perfect for vintage bird lovers and tropical wall displays alike.

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.
