此图谱《百花鸟图》由余曾三作画，张廷玉，鹗尔泰等人为每幅做诗，大约是康熙时开始编撰，直到雍正时期才完成。此套共两册，画册描绘了百余种当时的珍稀花卉与鸟类。其画面工笔精美，诗文小楷非常秀丽。画册前有沈燮撰：文体记、骚体赋，后有其跋。此画谱大约在1737（元文２年）被带至日本，其中所绘鸟类大部分不产于日本。这对后来日本的博物学画谱有一定影响。余省，字曾三，号鲁亭，江苏常熟人，珣子。曾受业于蒋廷锡。乾隆（1736—1795）时与唐岱、周鲲同祗候内廷，善花鸟、虫鱼、翎毛，间亦参用西法，赋色妍丽，尤善画蝶，工兰竹水仙，所作叠邀高宗睿题，藏于石渠宝笈。
The painting of Hundred Flowers and Birds was painted by Yu Zengsan, and Zhang Tingyu, E Ertai and others wrote poems for each painting. It was about the time of Kangxi and was not completed until Yongzheng. This set consists of two volumes. The album depicts more than 100 kinds of rare flowers and birds at that time. The painting is exquisite, and the small regular script is very beautiful. In front of the album, there are Shen Xie’s works: stylistic notes, Sao Fu, and postscript. This painting was brought to Japan about 1737 (the second year of Yuanwen), and most of the birds painted in it were not produced in Japan. This had a certain impact on the natural history painting of Japan later. Yu Province, known as Zeng San, was named Lu Ting, a native of Changshu, Jiangsu Province, and Xun Zi. He once learned from Jiang Tingxi. During the reign of Emperor Qianlong (1736-1795), he, together with Tang Dai and Zhou Kun, was good at waiting for the imperial court. He was also good at flowers and birds, insects and fish, and feathers. He also used Western methods to paint beautiful colors, especially butterflies. He was good at painting orchids and bamboos and daffodils. He wrote the brilliant inscription of Emperor Gaozong, which was hidden in the Stone Canal Collection.
