Black Bird Drawing

Another charming public domain bird drawing, this vintage illustration features a black bird on a tree limb surrounded by leaves and flowers.

Friends in Feathers and Fur, and Other Neighbors was a charming children’s book from 1885. James Johonnot (1823-1908) did not identify an illustrator but at least two of the drawings in this book appear to be by Harrison Weir (1824-1906).
