Vogels c. 1843

"Vogels," a lithograph by Ernst Fröhlich from around 1843, depicts a collection of 16 different bird species. The detailed, colorful renderings of the birds, some perched on branches and others in flight, showcase the artist's keen observation and technical skill. This meticulously crafted print exemplifies the popular natural history genre of the 19th century, offering a visual guide to ornithological identification for a wide audience. The image is also notable for its German text labels, providing the common names of each bird species featured in the composition.
