Great auk, 19th century illustration
Bildnummer 13963812
| Great auk (Pinguinus impennis), a species of flightless alcid that became extinct in the mid-19th century. It was the only modern species in the genus Pinguinus. It is not closely related to the birds now known as penguins, which were discovered later by Europeans and so named by sailors because of their physical resemblance to the great auk. Illustrated by Joseph Smit, from the book 'The beautiful and curious birds of the world' by Charles Barney Cory (1883). Plates are tinted lithographs, some with additional hand-colouring. | |
