Vögel No. XI
Vögel No. XI is a German natural history plate from 1836, a single-sheet page of colored bird illustrations labeled with German and Latin names. Its grid of finches, buntings, swallows and a cardinal shows the species as small, clearly separated specimens. A designer could draw on the tidy labeled layout and hand-colored bird profiles for botanical-style charts, field guide patterns, or vintage stationery.
