In the year 1875, the late Mr. Joseph Wolf painted, in his own 

 inimitable and masterly style, a picture of the Labrador Falcon for his 

 friend Mr. H. E. Dresser. For years past this picture has been a 

 source of delight to the numerous friends of the well-known author of 

 the 'Birds of Europe,' who, after their repeated requests that he would 

 allow it to be reproduced, has consented to a small number of impres- 

 sions being made by the three-colour process. The size of the repro- 

 duction, exclusive of margin, is 7f in. by 6 J in. Each impression will 

 be numbered and signed by Mr. Dresser, and can be obtained from 

 E. H. Porter.
