I have at least 4 of these, although it is curious to note now that they don’t have the printed signature.

Hello Kym. The prints are presumed copies of paintings by Neville W Cayley for his unpublished ‘big book’ that was to follow
What Bird Is That? The ‘big’ paintings were published, curiously in what was described as ‘a completely revised and updated edition’ of
What Bird Is That? (revised by Terence Lindsey), in 1984. That book was republished by Australia’s Heritage Publishing in 2011. You occasionally see both versions around used-book shops. You often see reproductions for various purposes of the ‘big
book’ paintings.

Just wondering if anyone can give me any information on these prints???
All have the same signature in different locations per image
Each print is approx approx 52 cm high x 36 approx wide not including frame or matting
Lower corner appears to be a seal of some type I cannot remove the back of the frame to look as they have been professionally done with the tape
Cannot find the exact ones via google
Found them today in one of the op shops
Poor quality iphone images on flickr
