A beautiful poster depicting a barn owl, originating from the work "Natur-Geschichte der Deutschen Vögel" by C.G. Friderich. This exceptional work by the 19th-century German ornithologist was published in 1891 in Stuttgart by Julius Hoffmann. Friderich combined scientific accuracy with an artistic approach in his works, making his illustrations not only useful for researchers but also appealing to a wider audience. The barn owl is a bird of extraordinary beauty, distinguished by its bright, heart-shaped facial disc. The print precisely captures its subtle coloring – a golden-rusty upper body adorned with delicate gray speckles and a light, often nearly white underside. The dark, penetrating eyes, which give it a mysterious expression, and the slender, elegant silhouette are particularly striking. Friderich's illustration, with attention to detail, presents this silent, nocturnal hunter, often associated with rural buildings and towers.
