1846 Waxwing - Rare Hand-Colored Lithograph from Hoffmann's Book of the World
About the Item
Title: 1846 Waxwing - Rare Hand-Colored Lithograph from Carl Hoffmann's *Book of the World*
Description:
This 1846 hand-colored lithograph beautifully illustrates a Waxwing, a bird renowned for its distinctive crested head and sleek plumage. The delicate shades of brown, black, yellow, and red are carefully hand-applied, capturing the bird’s soft feathers and unique markings, including the bright tips of its wings and tail. The lithograph comes from Carl Hoffmann's *Book of the World*, a 19th-century publication known for its meticulous representation of rare birds and other natural subjects.
Perched gracefully on a tree stump, surrounded by simple foliage, the Waxwing is rendered with remarkable precision and clarity. The bird’s signature crest and subtle color gradations are a testament to the skill of the artist. This old print is a rare find, representing both an artistic masterpiece and an important contribution to ornithological studies of the period. The combination of scientific detail and aesthetic appeal makes this lithograph a prized piece of natural history illustration.
