Johann Friedrich Naumann These color lithographs are cut from the second edition of Johann Friedrich Naumann's classic Naturgeschichte der Vögel Mitteleuropas, published by Gera-Untermhaus in 1896-1905 . The plates, which show birds in their natural setting, are by such artists as Keulemans , Göring, Geisler, and Kleinschmidt. Originally written by Johann Andreas Naumann (1744-1826) and Johann Friedrich Naumann (1780-1857), the Natural History of Central European Birds was and published in various formats between 1797 and 1817. Buchanan and Fisher describe the second edition as the " . . . most scholarly and complete ornithological text book of its time (perhaps of any time)." The plates are
printed on heavy stock and are of excellent quality. Note: In the
photos below, the white margins and parts of the image, as well as the
nomenclature and attributions, have been cropped.
