Above is the song of the nightingale, in whom, said Kircher, "Nature has embodied...the perfect ideal of art and music." Below are those of the cock, hen, cuckoo, quail and, ironically, a parrot speaking the Greek word for “hello.” Fine Art Quality The Ibis’s giclée process uses archival pigment inks on 100% cotton rag paper to achieve crisp detail and rich, lasting color.
