A beautiful poster depicting the Snowy 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 Snowy Owl is an impressive bird of prey from the far north, distinguished by its almost entirely white plumage. The print showcases its massive, rounded silhouette and dense feathers that protect it from the cold, covering even its legs and toes. The piercing, bright yellow eyes draw attention, contrasting with the light facial disc and darker spots or transverse bars adorning the wings and back. Friderich's illustration faithfully captures the majestic calm and wildness of this species, perfectly portraying it as the spirit of the Arctic tundra.
