Museum (458, f. 6). There is no accompanying letterpress as 

 with some of Ridinger's works, but each plate has a description 

 at foot in German and French. (See Thienemann, " Leben und 

 Wirkendes J. E. Ridinger," 8vo, Leipzig, 1856, pp. 34-38.) In 

 another series there is a fine engraving of two hooded Jerfalcons 

 and a water-dog, and in a third series, of much larger plates, 

 depicting field-sports of the four seasons (Brit. Mus. 458, h. 15), 

 the third plate gives a splendid representation of heron-hawking.
