The composition combines precise renditions of the birds with a rather decorative and stylized arrangement of the grasses on which they perch. The print was made with the chine applique process, in which an engraved plate is impressed onto a thin sheet of tissue-like paper backed by a heavier sheet, leaving a rich, crisp, detailed impression.<\/p>\n<p>Product Description Continues Below<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":7603,"template":"","meta":{"wds_primary_product_brand":0,"wds_primary_product_cat":0,"footnotes":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[5354],"product_tag":[61,2899,124,5300,4679,475,1544,868,5299,2050,1087,1673,688],"class_list":{"0":"post-7601","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-archive-sold-nature","7":"product_tag-20th-century","8":"product_tag-birds","9":"product_tag-british","10":"product_tag-budgerigars","11":"product_tag-chine-applique","12":"product_tag-english","13":"product_tag-henry","14":"product_tag-landscape","15":"product_tag-martindale","16":"product_tag-mezzotint","17":"product_tag-percy","18":"product_tag-print","19":"product_tag-river","20":"post","21":"post-with-thumbnail","22":"post-with-thumbnail-large","24":"first","25":"instock","26":"product-type-simple"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/7601","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/7601\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":37735,"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/7601\/revisions\/37735"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7603"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7601"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=7601"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=7601"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=7601"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
