For the Birds
Since man began painting on cave walls over 2000 years ago, bird images have been an ever present design embellishment in the home
Fashionable bird décor reached extraordinary heights during the Victorian era with feathers, bird cages, paintings and aviary dioramas filling every corner of the home.
Today, a more delicate and graceful approach is taken when designing with birds
For a less permanent bird images various types of art for the walls
Stylized bird fabrics for a casual look from Duralee fabrics

Mr. H says:It is not only fine feathers that make fine birds-Enjoy!
Jennifer,
This is well done. Can I use it for my History of Design Class at the Art Institute? My students are always fascinated by individual trends in Victorian times. Thanks,
Jane
Of course-thanks Jane!
