    I would think so, Martin, see the Title page, of the same volume/issue (here): "... MDCCCXI. EDIT. MDCCCXXXI." ;) First Edition, of 1811 = here (with "STERNA hybrida" here). Enjoy! Björn PS. In between there's also yet another, a Second edition (1826) of Pallas's Zoographia Rosso-Asiatica.

    :oops: ... ok, so your question was simply posted in the wrong thread. Thus, queries on Werner is better kept in your own thread here. ;) Either way, I haven't seen a digitized copy of (this particular) Les oiseaux et les fleurs ... anywhere. Looks like a very Rare Children's book.

    Which Bird taxon, or what original source, is supposed to be found in it? :unsure: Martin, please enlighten us. Note that the Musinsky Rare Books Catalogue (Mark' first link in post #319) states "Common names only are given" (see top of page 54). One of the Picture ("the Hoopoe") is shown on...

    The Plate of "Motteux mâle" (here, fig.1). Looks familiar ... like a male Wheatear (Oenanthe). Though, I don't know of any plate/s of neither one/s of "the traquet and tarier". Either way; enjoy! /B
