About this sheet

The print of the Sanderling bird from "Das Buch der Welt" by Carl Hoffmann is a mid-19th-century lithograph by Engelhorn and Hochdanz, published in Stuttgart in 1847.

This work details the natural history and characteristics of the Sanderling, a small wading bird, within a broader exploration of the animal kingdom during that period. Such prints were common in ornithological works of the time, aiming to combine scientific detail with artistic merit to educate and fascinate readers about wildlife.
