These colorful prints are from a general reference on Canary and Cagebirds published by
Cassell and Company in the late 1800s. The illustrations are by Joseph Ludlow
(1840-1916). Ludlow was a prolific illustrator of birds with his best know work
being The Illustrated Book of Poultry. As
with many Cassell color prints, the Canaries and Cagebirds are placed in a natural
setting.
