Chromolithography allowed Lampert's artists to reproduce the subtle gradations of bird plumage, the iridescent sheen of feathers, and the characteristic postures of each species with a fidelity that earlier hand-colored engraving techniques could not match. This distinguished hardcover journal presents two of the most celebrated plates: Plate 1 with finches on the front, and Plate 2 with grosbeaks and crossbills on the back.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFront Cover — Plate 1: Goldfinch, Linnet, Siskin, Serin, Citril Finch \u0026amp;
