A wading bird with dark blue-black plumage, pale gray breast, and distinctive russet-orange wing coverts stands alert on a rocky outcrop against a cream ground. The naturalistic rendering captures the bird's precise anatomy and watchful posture with the refined detail characteristic of early 19th-century ornithological study. Printed on smooth white card stock and made to order, artwork on the front, blank inside, envelopes included in every set. A handwritten note that arrives as an independent artist's work.
