Bird Postcard: Black-Headed Gull Larus Ridibundus Natural History 1930s XT5481

This historic monochrome postcard features an informative ornithological study of a pair of Black-Headed Gulls (Larus ridibundus) shown at one-fifth natural size in a museum display habitat. The composition shows one gull sitting on a raised reed nest beside three mottled eggs while the other rests on the ground surface below. Published for the British Museum (Natural History), this card is an excellent example of early twentieth-century wildlife documentation prints created to educate the public on native British nesting birds.

This is a plain back standard size postcard which was published by The British Museum (Natural History), printed at the Oxford Univ. Press (Series C 13). The postcard was made in the United Kingdom. This is an unused postcard.
