Colorful illustration of a Lesser Bird of Paradise perched on a branch. Includes a small map of New Guinea. The back includes a description of the bird: "The fantastic plumage of these gorgeous birds is often used for grotesque displays. It is not fully attained until the birds have reached an age of eight to ten years. It is moulted once a year and in summer the birds are quite plain. They are of the crow tribe and omnivorous in feeding habits."
