Antique Bird Print of a Green Pie from the East Indies
About the Item
An original delicate and captivating antique print, labeled 'The Green-Pie from the East Indies.' It is a representation of a bird, specifically a Green Magpie, with origins in the East Indies region, which includes parts of modern-day Southeast Asia.
The print showcases the bird perched gracefully on a branch, with its plumage rendered in fine detail. The bird's feathers display a blend of yellow and olive-green, with a distinct yellow neck patch and a contrasting dark grey to blackish crown and mask, creating a striking visual impact. The Green Magpie's vibrant coloration and detailed portrayal would likely attract the attention of ornithology enthusiasts and antique art collectors.
Produced around the year 1760, this piece of art was published by George Edwards, an English naturalist and ornithologist renowned for his detailed and accurate illustrations of birds. Edwards is often referred to as the "father of British ornithology," and his works were essential in the development of ornithological art in Europe.
This print, with its combination of scientific accuracy and aesthetic charm, would have significant appeal to collectors of ornithological prints, those with a specific interest in avian studies, as well as admirers of 18th-century natural history illustration. The inclusion of a scientific illustration of the bird's skull at the bottom of the print adds to its educational value, making it not only a piece of art but also a historical scientific document.
Prints such as this would also attract those with an appreciation for the history of colonial exploration and natural history, as the East Indies were a significant region of interest during the 18th century for European explorers and naturalists. Collectors may also value the antique nature of the paper, the print’s provenance, and the patina of age that often accompanies such prints, adding to their rarity and desirability.
