The print is presented on what appears to be a heavy-stock, white paper or card, indicating a quality medium for art reproduction. At the bottom left, the print is hand-signed by the artist, Barry Barnett, and numbered as '199/1997', indicating a very early print in a potentially large edition, or perhaps '1997' refers to the copyright year and the edition number is '199' out of an unknown total.

There is also a copyright notice "Limited Edition 499/1997 Copyright 1997 Barry Barnett & Wild Wings." at the bottom left, which clarifies the edition number as 499 out of an unknown total printed in 1997. The overall condition appears to be excellent, with no visible creases, tears, or significant discoloration. The edges are crisp, suggesting careful handling and storage. The detailed depiction of the bird and the loose, naturalistic portrayal of the environment highlight the artist's skill in capturing wildlife. This print is likely from the late 20th century, specifically 1997.
