It's an important reference for those interested in this particular bird species. 4.

His illustrations are highly regarded for their accuracy. 5. Historical Significance: As an antique print, it provides historical insights into the study of birds, ornithology, and the scientific understanding of avian species during the late 19th century. 6.
