Plovers, vultures, warblers, shrikes, whinchats and stonechats are observed as living birds by Archibald Thorburn, the Scottish wildlife artist (1860–1935). The published illustrations here date from 1900–1926 and focus on British birds, grouped on the page so that posture and plumage can be compared, with male and female distinguished in some captions. The prints reproduce his work for publication and are not original paintings or drawings.
