Restored from a 19th-century plate, this vintage scientific illustration gathers parrots, a toucan, and woodpeckers—the Grey Parrot (Psittacus erithacus), Sulphur-crested Cockatoo (Cacatua galerita), Channel-billed Toucan (Ramphastos vitellinus), Black Woodpecker (Dryocopus martius), European Green Woodpecker (Picus viridis), Great Spotted Woodpecker (Dendrocopos major), and Lesser Spotted Woodpecker (Dryobates minor)—arranged on branching boughs and pale tree trunks against a soft sky. The restoration preserves period character while reviving fine linework and color, making it a striking natural history art print for study or display.
