Birds of Paradise

These beautiful illustrations come from the 1806 Histoire Naturelle des Oiseaux de Paradis et des Rolliers, suivie de celle des Toucans et des Barbus by François Levaillant and Jacques Barraband and was scanned by BibliOdyssey. These are my favorites but there are many more amazing illustrations at BibliOdyssey’s Flickr page.
