Title - The Schort Eared Owl - Strix Capite Subaurito - Die Kurzohrichte Eule

Nach der neuen englischen Ausgabe des Herrn Thomas Pennant, in das Lateinische und Deutsche übersetzt, und mit einigen Anmerkungen begleitet von Christoph Gottlieb von Murr (1771-1778). The book was based on Thomas Pennant's The British Zoology. Hand-coloured. The engraving has been pasted on to a board. Mounted, glazed and framed in a more modern gilt frame.
