George Ring Original Illustration “The Frigate Bird” Hidden Harbor c.1910

Original ink and wash illustration by George Ring titled “The Frigate Bird,” with the penciled notation “18854 Hidden Harbor” and publisher markings on the sheet, dating to the early 20th century. Rendered in fine monochrome wash with strong detail in the bird, foliage, and composition, and bearing Ring’s monogram stamp at lower right. Sheet measures about 10 x 10 inches and shows age wear, foxing, edge creases, and old adhesive on the back, but the artwork itself displays well. A genuine period illustrator’s working drawing, likely prepared for publication, and a scarce example of George Ring’s natural-history illustration style.
