I don't have sufficient context to write an accurate overview. The image caption only indicates that this is an illustration of ibises from the 1830s-1840s, but it doesn't explain what ibises are or why they matter. I would need additional context or source material to provide the factual information you're requesting.

The ibis () (collective plural ibises; classical plurals ibides and ibes) are a group of long-legged wading birds in the family Threskiornithidae that inhabit wetlands, forests and plains. "Ibis" derives from the Latin and Ancient Greek word for this group of birds. It also occurs in the scientific name of the western cattle egret (Ardea ibis) mistakenly identified in 1757 as being the sacred ibis.
