Always wanted to know about this, had my theories when I was a kid, so glad to see a video about this.

Wow, how fascinating! Do you sell any postcards or books of the lithographic prints in the museum gift shops?

[@AmericanMuseumofNaturalHistory]

Hi Himani! There are several books featuring art from the Museum's Rare Book Collection that form a series called Natural Histories. Many of the particular works in this video can be found in Natural Histories: Extraordinary Birds by Paul Sweet (the Collections Manager of the Museum's Ornithology Department). shop.amnh.org/natural-histories-extraordinary-rare-birds.html

Wood engraving, not woodcut.... they used the terms interchangeably int he 19th C but today we distinguish them.
