Bird Drawings

Before the time of photography publishers wishing to portray an image of a subject under discussion hired illustrators to represent the subject.

Birds, being a popular subject of discussion in print as well as every day life, also became popular illustrations. The following set of bird drawings were edited from late eighteenth and early nineteenth century bird publications.

They were such nice illustrations, it seems a waste to allow them to remain within the dustbins of history.
