Plate Bibliography

The illustration on a BeakBrain card is a plate from a historical bird book, cut to a single bird and cleared of its background. This is the whole list: 4,695 plates, 4,529 scanned by Wikimedia Commons and 166 by the Biodiversity Heritage Library, filed under the 406 illustrators, engravers and draughtsmen the record names.

4,105 are public domain and 51 are CC0. 111 are Creative Commons Attribution and 4 Attribution ShareAlike, where crediting the artist is a condition of the licence rather than a courtesy.

3,137 plates name their illustrator in the source record. 312 are unsigned there and are credited to the hand that illustrated the book they came from. The remaining 1,246 are credited to their source material instead, the book and the library that holds it, and each links back to it.

Symbols, and what the rest of a card means, are on the card key.
