Vögel IX
A German plate from 1836 titled Vögel IX, a natural history sheet of hand-coloured engravings of songbirds and warblers, labelled with German and Latin names for a general readership. The small birds are shown in side profile, perched on twigs and stones against a plain ground, with each species captioned beneath, making it useful for a designer seeking clear, scientifically arranged animal forms and tidy grid layouts.
