About the Item
Antique Hand-Colored Engraving of The Hamburgh Treecreeper by Eleazar Albin, 1735
Description:
This detailed antique hand-colored engraving depicts The Hamburgh Treecreeper, drawn and engraved by Eleazar Albin, dated August 16, 1735. The image shows the bird clinging vertically to the trunk of a small tree, with its distinctive reddish-brown head, speckled back, white underparts, and curved beak carefully rendered. The caption below reads The Hamburgh Treecreeper along with Albin’s signature and date Eleazar Albin Del. Aug. 16. 1735.
Eleazar Albin was one of England’s pioneering natural history illustrators, known for combining scientific observation with artistic detail in his renowned works such as A Natural History of Birds. His illustrations were among the first ornithological studies to be drawn directly from life, providing European scholars and wealthy patrons with accurate and aesthetically pleasing images of known and exotic species.
The Hamburgh Treecreeper depicted here likely represents a variety of creeper or woodpecker noted for its climbing behaviour. The engraving captures the bird in its natural posture, clinging to a tree trunk with claws and tail feathers supporting its ascent, characteristic of the species’ foraging habits. Albin’s prints remain prized today for their combination of Enlightenment-era scientific precision and decorative charm, making them valuable to collectors of antique natural history illustrations.

Framing tips:
This engraving will present beautifully in a dark wood or black frame with a gold inner edge to emphasise its historic character. A cream or pale moss-green mat will enhance the natural tones and provide an elegant display, ideal for a study, library, or natural history-themed gallery arrangement.

By Mark Catesby
Located in Alamo, CA
A hand-colored copperplate engraving of a bird and plants by Mark Catesby (1683-1749) entitled "The Crested Titmous" from "The Natural History of Carolina, Georgia, Florida and the Bahama Islands", published in 1731. It depicts a small Crested Titmous bird, facing left, perched on the stem of a plant with clusters of mauve colored star-like flowers.
This original Catesby hand-colored engraving, on laid paper with a large central Fleur-de-Lys watermark, is presented in a cream color French mat. The mat measures 20" x 15.5" and the sheet measures 18.75" x 14.75".
