Vögel No. X

1836 · 1 picture

Vögel No. X is a German natural history plate from 1836, a single sheet of labelled bird studies, probably made for students or naturalists. Its many small hand-coloured songbirds, finches and tits are each set on a branch or perch with a German name, so a designer could borrow the grid of specimens and the flat, decorative colour for botanical or field-guide layouts.
