The bird featured in the MAG/NET header was drawn by Franz Anton Scheidels, who was a popular illustrator of natural history books in the 18th century. The western crowned pigeon depicted is a detail from his “Album with 100 Watercolor ‘Birds’”, which is in the possession of the Princes of Liechtenstein.
For more than 400 years, the Princes of Liechtenstein have been passionate art collectors. The Princely Collections include key works of European art spanning over five centuries and are now among the world’s major private art collections.
