Eagle, 1896

From Johann Friedrich Naumann, Naturgeschichte der Vogel, published in 1896 by Gera-Untermhaus in Germany. Addall.com shows numerous copies for sale, starting at $300, with anything from 20 to 30 colored plates. I have a few more of these but the margins of this blog are too small, and besides it's late night and my fingers are tired. Click, drill.

Golden Eagle, Aquila chrysaetus

Trade Cards

At one point I went off and collected almost two thousand images of trade cards from various seller listings on eBay. Most of those are now online; go there and get lost in the colors.
