Description: This original antique print originates from: 'Naturgeschichte der Vogel Mitteleuropas". This extensive and sought after work which was published between 1896 and 1905 contains over 400 beautiful bird-plates which have become rather hard to find nowadays.

Artists and Engravers: Johann Friedrich Naumann (1780 - 1857) was a German scientist and editor. Naumann is regarded as the founder of scientific ornithology in Europe. The plates which show birds in their natural setting are by such artists as Keulemans, Kleinschmidt, Geisler, Von Riesenthal, De Maes and Goering.
