Bird Skull Studies – Urugallus, Hybrid & Lebris

Three bird skulls are arranged vertically in profile in this early twentieth-century Italian ornithological plate. The comparative presentation emphasizes differences in beak length, cranial structure and overall proportion, while the stark anatomical forms create a striking contrast against the warm aged-paper background.

Published in Rivista Italiana di Ornitologia as Anno IV, Tav. Ia, the plate identifies the specimens as urugallus, lebris × urugallus and lebris. Original handwritten annotations, monochrome photographic texture, printed captions and the simple black border preserve the archival scientific character of the source.
