Barn Swallow and Rock Swallow — Vintage Bird Postcard

A Barn Swallow (Hirundo rufula) — deep blue-black back, rust-orange throat, and a deeply forked tail — perches above a plain brown Rock Swallow (Biblis rupestris) with a neat fan-shaped tail, both resting on a mossy rock ledge fringed with wild grass and leaves.

The plate is reproduced from Johann Friedrich Naumann's 19th-century ornithological illustrations, prized for their scientific detail and accuracy.
