Lovely set of chromolithographs, from a later issue of this fine work, which originally appeared in 1827-37. Each sheet depicts a single bird. All are very attractive and include a swan, 2 black grouse, a cormorant, and a handsome crested bird Upupa Epops. Magnus von Wright was a prominent Swedish ornithologist.
