Vintage Crimson Winged Parakeet Throw Pillow

This pillow is shown with a pale yellow background. The background color may be changed to your choice of colors by selecting the "customize it button" then choose edit and you will find "background" at the bottom of the list of edit options. Choose from a variety of colors. I have found that with this particular bird image, pale colors work best. This image is an adaptation of the beautiful lithograph by English artist, Edward Lear. Edward Lear (1812 -1888) was an artist, illustrator, author and poet. His principal areas of work as an artist included work as a draftsman employed to illustrate birds and animals, and making colored drawings during his journeys. These he reworked later, sometimes as plates for his travel books. This illustration is a part of Lear's first publication, published when he was 19 years old, entitled Illustrations of the Family of Psittacidae, or Parrots in 1830.
