Antique Engraving of a Tucano Mangiapepe by Saverio Manetti
Located in Downingtown, PA
Antique engraving of a Tucano Mangiapepe,
by Saverio Manetti
Circa 1776
A fine hand colored engraving of a Tuscan Magpie by the Italian artist Saverio Manetti. Manetti drew his work predominantly from real specimens. The work was one of the largest ornithology undertakings to that point in time.
Dimensions: 25 inches high x 22 inches wide x 1 1/4 inches deep. (frame); (63.5cm high x 55.88cm). 18 x 14 in. (sheet)
Reference: Wikipedia
Manetti was born in Brozzi to Giovanni Bernardo and Maria Teresa Nesiscolt of Prague. His early studies were in Florence and later at Pisa where he studied botany under Pier Antonio Micheli. He graduated in medicine in 1745 and worked in Florence. In 1758 he joined the National Medical College where he studied anatomy under Antonio Cocchi (1695–1758), conducting the autopsy of Cocchi.
Manetti was Professor of Botany of the "Società Botanica Fiorentina", a member of the German Academy of Sciences Leopoldina, a Fellow of the Royal Society, learned societies in Göttingen and Montpellier, an Accademico dell'Istituto di Bologna and he maintained scientific contacts with the Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus and with the main scientific circles of the second half of the 18th century.
He was supervisor of the Orto Botanico di Firenze in Florence from 1749 to 1782 succeeding to Giovanni Targioni Tozzetti and Secretary of the Accademia dei Georgofili. With remarkable organizational effort, he secured the publication of Storia naturale degli uccelli, Natural History of the birds, a monumental work in five volumes illustrated with 600 hand-coloured engravings based on watercolor paintings.
The book was commissioned by Maria Luisa, Grand duchess of Tuscany and the first volume was dedicated to Grand Duke Pietro Leopoldo. The third volume was dedicated to Ferdinando di Brobone and the fourth to Giorgio Nassau Clavering. The engravings were made by Tuscan abbot and engraver Lorenzo Lorenzi and Violante Vanni who had studied under British engraver Robert Strange...

Hand-Colored Engraving of the Hudson Bay Heron by Johann Michael Seligmann, 1770
Located in Langweer, NL
Title: Der Reiher aus der Hudsons-Bay - Hand-Colored Engraving of the Hudson Bay Heron by Johann Michael Seligmann, 18th Century
This exquisite hand-colored engraving, titled 'Der Reiher aus der Hudsons-Bay', depicts the Hudson Bay Heron (Ardea stellaris Canadensis), showcasing the bird’s distinct plumage and posture with vibrant precision.
Created by Johann Michael Seligmann, a renowned German engraver and illustrator, this piece belongs to his influential series *Sammlung verschiedener ausländischer und seltener Vögel* (Collection of Various Foreign and Rare Birds). Seligmann’s work adapted the illustrations of eminent naturalists, including George Edwards, bringing these images to a German audience while preserving both scientific detail and aesthetic charm.
The plate, numbered "Tab. XXXI," captures the heron standing elegantly, with finely rendered feather patterns and delicate coloring that highlight Seligmann’s attention to detail. The botanical element at the bird’s feet, along with the French title *Le Butor de la Baye de Hudson*, adds context to the species' natural environment. This engraving, with its Latin nomenclature, reflects the era’s fascination with exotic fauna and is a wonderful example of 18th-century ornithological artistry.
Perfect for collectors of historical natural history illustrations or enthusiasts of rare avian artwork, this piece embodies Seligmann’s artistic legacy. His engravings remain highly collectible for their combination of scientific accuracy and visual beauty, making this print an exceptional addition to any antique print collection.
