Note du spécialiste

The present lot was awarded to Reginald Ernest Moreau (1897-1970) in 1962 by the Zoological Society of London, in recognition of his contribution to ornithology. Moreau had an extensive knowledge about birds, making studies of the clutch size in nesting birds and comparing the life-histories of birds in different latitudes. He was also a long time editor of the ornithological journal Ibis, and was awarded an honorary Master of Arts degree from the University of Oxford on 15 December 1951.
