This 19th-century print, "Condor," by firma Joseph Scholz, depicts a detailed comparison of the Andean Condor (left) and the Bearded Vulture (right). The lithograph is a scientific illustration of the birds in their natural habitats, with the backdrop showcasing mountain ranges. These species, known for their soaring flight and scavenging habits, are a striking example of natural diversity, captured in the meticulous detail of the artwork. The print exemplifies the genre of natural history illustration, popular in the 19th century for its educational value and artistic aesthetics.
