About this work
A hand-coloured print titled The swallow's nest by Lothar Meggendorfer, dated 1884, shows two swallows beside a mud nest packed with open-beaked chicks. A thatched roof edge runs across the top of the composition, and one adult bird carries an insect toward the young. The illustration combines ink linework with flat colour and includes movable paper elements typical of the artist's mechanical picture books.
