Giclee reprint of an original lithograph from Leopold Joseph Fitzinger's multi-volume work, Bilder-Atlas zur wissenschaftlich-populären Naturgeschichte der Vögel in ihren sämmtlichen Hauptformen published in Vienna in 1864.

The structural focus of the atlas centers on its extensive series of color lithographic plates, which illustrate each bird species in detail. Individual entries, such as this illustration of the common Indian peafowl (Pavo cristatus), depict the subjects perched or arranged to display their plumage, diagnostic markings, and anatomical features clearly. These plates were used as a standardized reference format for naturalists, educators, and institutional libraries to identify and study global bird populations during the Victorian era.
