Vögel No. V
Vögel No. V is a German natural history plate of birds, published in 1836, probably as one sheet in a series for students and naturalists. Its hand-coloured engravings show a dozen species arranged in a grid, each labelled with German and Latin names. A designer could borrow the tidy specimen-grid layout, the muted field-guide palette of greens, greys and blues, and the small italic captions beneath each figure.
