  These playing cards were printed in 1988 under the direction of the French Musée National
d'Histoire Naturelle to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the death of naturalist and
bird artist Jeu. Buffon. They contain images from "Historie des Oiseaux"
originally published in 10 volumes between 1771-1786.
