Victorian natural-history plate

Victorian natural-history plate of a single nightingale in strict profile, beak parted as if mid-note, perched on one bare twig against cream paper. Fine sepia engraving describes every barb and the open throat, with a gentle rust wash on the syrinx and soft sage and ochre on wing and breast; even studio light, visible paper grain, generous empty margin. The words 'THE VOICE' sit in small serif capitals beneath the bird, with the smaller line 'recognized, not restored' centered under them. No Latin labels, insets, or plate numbers. 9:16 portrait phone wallpaper.
