Biography
Princess Charlotte of Württemberg (1807–1873) was a distinguished ornithologist and member of European nobility who made significant contributions to the study of birds. Her scientific interests reflected the 19th-century aristocratic engagement with natural history and the emerging discipline of ornithology.
