Two photomechanical reproductions on paper. Both 51 x 33 in. (sight), 55 x 37 in. (frame). Note: These oversized prints are copies after Frisch's original engravings published in Berlin in 1733 and issued in sections over the following thirty years. The original book of engravings is considered the first great German ornithological book and is quite rare.
