About the Item
Antique print, titled: 'Taf. XLVII. Neophron Percnopterus, Egyptischer Aasgeier. Alt - Jung.'
This plate shows the Egyptian vulture (Neophron percnopterus), also called the white scavenger vulture or pharaoh's chicken, adult and young.

Second edition of this plate set first published in 1876-78, including several much-sought depictions of falcons. "As these birds of prey are rendered with the utmost attention to detail, the description of their exterior may be confined to that which is not evident from the images or whatever is of particular noteworthiness". Ref: Nissen, IVB 782. OCLC 302340448. Cf. Harting 127.
Artists and Engravers: Made by 'Julius Adolf Oskar von Riesenthal' after an anonymous artist. Julius Adolf Oskar von Riesenthal (18 September 1830 – 22 January 1898) was a German forester, ornithologist, hunter and writer.
