Bemerkungen über einen monstreusen Canarien-Vogel : aus dessen Unterkiefer ein lang gewundenes Horn gewachsen ; an den Herrn Grafen von Büffon ... mit einer ausgemahlten Kupfertafel
A German natural history pamphlet by Ernst Christoph Schultz, addressed to Count Buffon, printed in Hamburg in 1780 for naturalists and collectors of curiosities. Its plate shows a canary standing on a pedestal above a small oval medallion holding a bird's head with a horn-like growth, drawn in a hand-coloured, precise style. Designers might take its oval framing, muted green-and-cream palette, and stiff classical pedestal as period-appropriate natural-history illustration.
