Bird Postcard: Stone-Curlew Thick-Knee Edicnemus Natural History 1930s XT5462

This historic monochrome postcard depicts a detailed ornithological study of a Stone-Curlew, or Thick-Knee (Edicnemus edicnemus), shown at one-quarter natural size in a gravelly habitat. The image accurately illustrates one bird with wings partially spread while a second camouflaged bird rests nearby on the ground alongside a small clutch of patterned eggs. Published for the British Museum (Natural History), this card is a classic example of early twentieth-century wildlife documentation and academic museum publishing.

This is a plain back standard size postcard which was published by British Museum (Natural History), printed at the Oxford Univ. Press (Series C 17). The postcard was made in the United Kingdom. This is an unused postcard.
