It was illustrated by Jaques Barraband (1767–1809), a naturalist and illustrator, and is highly regarded as an important work on ornithological art.

To bird lovers, ornithologists and wildlife enthusiasts, panels from this work can be an excellent choice as a collectors item. These handmade works of art are some of the finest examples of zoological illustrations and these have been reproduced here in high resolution to be used as art prints, tapestries and more.
