The titles for many of these prints are unknown at this time. Many are designs after Chinese tapestries and often bear generic titles such as "K'o ssu" or "Chinese." I'm sufficiently ornithologically and botanically challenged that I've largely refrained from attempting to identify most of the birds and flora depicted by Lord in her prints. If an attributed or descriptive title is given, chances that it is a title ascribed to it by a dealer and should be taken with a grain of salt.

If you've read this far, it should be apparent that this list of bird prints is no doubt incomplete, and information about these prints is in need of further annotation. If a reader is aware of a missing Lord print or painting of a bird (or a correct title or edition size), please let me know and I will add it to the list.
