With intricate detailing and vibrant natural pigments, the print features species like le Mirail and le Napal, as identified in delicate French script below the composition.
Originally produced for a zoological compendium or naturalist’s journal, this piece exudes the essence of the Age of Exploration—a time when exotic fauna were lovingly illustrated to educate and awe. The lithograph blends scientific precision with artistic flair, making it a standout for collectors of antique ornithology, vintage décor enthusiasts, or those seeking to add a story-filled relic to their home.
