I can’t seem to find out anything about the artist who made these illustrations. They are signed A.H. Winkler for Albert H. Winkler and were found in the back of a dictionary dating from 1971. They seem to be older than that though, just from their style. I especially like the title page, which is the last one on this post. Imagine flipping through a big dictionary, with only black and white pages, and coming to these at the end. I was transported to the natural world! If you know anything about this artist, I’d love to hear from you.

My great grandfather was named Albert and hist painting style was almost identical as this. I’m curious as to whether these are some more of his works or not.
I am in contact with the artist’s granddaughter if you want me to get the two of you in touch. She just emailed me today. She bought some of his works on Ebay. I love his style.
