The Feather Book

Summary: 
Follow this link to find bird illustrations made of feathers by Dionisio Minaggio.
Description: 

"The Feather Book was created by Dionisio Minaggio, the Chief Gardener of the State of Milan in 1618. The Feather Book is a collection of illustrations made completely of bird feathers - with a few added extras. The majority of the pictures represent the birds of Lombardy - the area of Italy around Milan. They are complete with beaks and claws and, in a few cases, you can also see the skin of the head underneath the feathers."
