Vögel
Vögel is a German natural history plate from 1835, a sheet of hand-coloured prints of domestic and water birds meant for schoolroom or reference use. The picture shows a turkey, rooster, peacock, swan, duck, goose, stork and pigeons, each drawn separately on a cream ground. A designer could use the crisp, individually framed bird studies as a model for a field guide layout or an arrangement of stylised animal specimens.
