One of the leading authorities on just about everything in the Victorian world was Cassell's - and one look at these lovely illustrations from Cassell's gorgeous 4-volume Book of Birds will tell you why! This collection brings you images of birds from around the world - from the humble sparrow to the Horned Sun-Gem (a type of hummingbird). The book was translated from the German by Thomas Rymer-Jones and published in 1874. It's the perfect collection to feather your artistic nest!
