General
3 birds, the upper one indicated by a rough sketch (Gould?) giving two poses, the center one clearly drawn and colored, and the lower one represented by blank paper (pin marks suggest that a cut-out was attached at some stage). Artist's name(s): Gould, John; Richter, Henry Constantine. Both sketches look lighter than Gould's usual style, but less smooth than Richter's.
