Night Hawk, from The Comic Natural History of the Human Race 1851

This hand-colored lithograph, "Night Hawk," from Henry Louis Stephens’s *The Comic Natural History of the Human Race* depicts a woman's head in the body of a hawk. The artwork, created in 1851, is part of a series of prints that humorously combines animal characteristics with human figures, likely meant to entertain a broad audience. The detailed illustration highlights the contrast between the woman’s face and the bird’s features, adding to the absurdity and amusement of the piece. The work can be found in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
