Drawing of Teasel, Poppy & Chicory Flowers

Public domain drawing of a mallard duck with his wings spread open. From the turn of his head with his open bill, this fellow looks ready to charm. Is he displaying his wings to attract a lady love or is he perhaps striking a threatening pose to warn other ducks away? Regardless of the intent of the original illustrator, I think this public domain duck drawing would add a bit of fun to any project about birds or ducks.

Lessons From the Vegetable World, printed in 1858, included a number of colorized vegetable and flower images like this one.
