Vögel No. XII
Vögel No. XII is a German natural history plate from 1836, showing domestic and exotic birds in hand-coloured engravings for students and naturalists. The plate lays out a turkey, a peacock and pheasant, a pigeon, a rooster, and a fluffy white hen, each labelled in German with its species name, so a designer can study the varied silhouettes and tidy specimen-sheet layout of early nineteenth-century bird illustration.
