Antique Bird Print of a White-Tailed Eagle by Manetti, circa 1770

About the Item

Antique bird print titled 'Aquila di coda Bianca d'America - Aquila cauda Alba Americana Edw'. Beautiful copper engraving of the white-tailed eagle. This print originates from 'Storia naturale degli Uccelli' by Saverio Manetti. The prints were drawn and etched by Violante Vanni and Lorenzo Lorenzi with the text penned by Saverio Manetti. The work was published in Florence, Italy between 1767 and 1776 by F. Mouck, C. Cambiagi, and Giuseppe Vanni. Each bird engraving shows remarkable personality and detail, many of the birds often taking on an almost human personality type. Manetti drew his work predominantly from real specimens. The work was one of the largest ornithology undertakings to that point in time.
