He also contributed plates to A Natural History of Birds by George Edwards, 1740–50.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlease feel free to contact us with questions by phone at 215.735.8811,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eor by email at \u003ca href=\"mailto:loricohen@aradergalleries.com\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eloricohen@aradergalleries.\u003cwbr\u003ecom\u003c\/wbr\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arader Galleries","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43320397037629,"sku":null,"price":8500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1208\/8894\/files\/PeterPaillou-ArcticTern.jpg?v=1783113606","url":"https:\/\/aradergalleries.com\/products\/peter-paillou-british-c-1720-1790-the-arctic-tern","provider":"Arader Galleries","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
