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.

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. Condition: Good, given age. An occasional tiny unobtrusive spot.
