Summary
| Description |
English: in 1830, Italian engraver Gabriele de Sanctis published a collection of ornamental alphabets decorated with images of birds. These letters, XYZ, are represented by the Airone Bianco (no, I don't know why he used an A-bird instead of an X-bird), the "Yacou" (probably the crested guan, but also possibly the white-browed guan, blue-throated piping guan, or black-fronted piping guan), and the "Ziollo" (possibly the nuthatch). |
