David Seth Smith's work on
parrots and parakeets was one
of the last fine bird books
illustrated with
hand-coloring, and was
published in 1903.
His prints were lithographs
and had excellent original
hand coloring.
The artists who drew the
illustrations included some of
the finest bird artists, such
as F.W. Frohawk, H. Goodchild,
Henrik Grönvold, and W.E.
Renaut. The lithographs were
printed by Mintern Brothers
(famous for printing many of
John Gould's bird prints) and
Bale & Danielsson, and then
colored by hand.
