Birds

Birds became one of the most enduring subjects in printed illustration long before photography made field guides practical. Natural history publishers of the 18th and 19th centuries drove enormous demand for precise, hand-colored depictions, and that tradition carried forward into 20th-century travel and conservation work, where birds served as shorthand for place and season. The pieces shown here are period originals from across that range.
