Vögel
A German natural history plate titled Vögel from 1835, a hand-coloured chart of birds from a zoological textbook or schoolbook, with each species numbered and labelled in small print. The plate shows a grid of perched birds in varied colours and shapes, including woodpeckers, orioles, shorebirds and songbirds, giving a designer a dense reference for plumage palettes and bird silhouettes arranged in a scientific catalogue layout.
