Quail Illustration - Vintage Scientific Drawing of a Bobwhite Quail #137747 (License: Personal Use)

This high-contrast black-and-white illustration depicts a northern bobwhite quail (Colinus virginianus) in profile, with precise cross-hatching revealing texture in the feathers, legs, and beak. The bird stands alert on textured ground, its characteristic white throat patch and striped crown clearly defined-typical of scientific field guides from the late 1800s. The artistic technique suggests wood engraving or etching, common in historical natural history publications.
