Description

Accessioned under the title 'A Curlew', but the bird depicted can be clearly identified as a snipe by its distinctive striped plumage and long, straight beak. An impression of the same print at the British Museum, 1914,0529.1, is also tentatively identified as a snipe with a note that an impression was exhibited as no. 37 in the Spring 1913 exhibition of the International Society of Sculptors, Painters and Gravers (CHECK TITLE In CATALOGUE).
