J. Terrier — Antique Bird Feathers Plate Postcard

A page from a 19th-century French natural history journal — the Actes de la Société Linnéenne de Bordeaux — showing fourteen numbered bird feathers in watercolour, from mottled browns to a vivid coral pink. Drawn by J. Terrier and printed by Becquet in Paris, it has the quiet precision of a scientific specimen chart.

A striking pick for postcrossing or for anyone who collects natural history ephemera.
