Grebes, guillemots, plovers, ducks and pelicans are shown by posture, form and behaviour in Cassell's Book of Birds, Thomas Rymer Jones's adaptation of the work of Alfred Brehm, published by Cassell, Petter and Galpin. The prints are catalogued around 1870, and their captions group the birds as divers, swimmers and stilt-walkers, preserving the way the book organised its subjects and the features that set apart birds with different ways of moving and feeding.
