About the Item

Common Nightingale (Luscinia megarhynchos) and Chiffchaff (Phylloscopus collybita) with Nest and Eggs, 1805 Charming Engraving by Bertuch Description: This delightful handcolored copperplate engraving from Friedrich Johann Bertuch's *Bilderbuch für Kinder* (Picture Book for Children), published in Weimar in 1805, captures the beauty of avian life. It features two bird species attending to their nests in a charming display of natural history and artistic detail. - Figure 1 illustrates a pair of birds perched on a mossy branch, guarding a nest filled with vivid green eggs, nestled amidst foliage. The careful rendering of the birds’ delicate feathers and their attentive posture adds a lifelike quality. - Figure 2 showcases another pair of birds, one perched nearby and the other tending to a nest filled with speckled eggs. The intricately woven nest rests on a network of twigs, highlighting the natural craftsmanship of these small creatures. Bertuch’s *Bilderbuch für Kinder*, a monumental 12-volume encyclopedia created for children, is celebrated for its 1,200 engraved plates spanning natural history, science, mythology, and costume. This particular engraving is a testament to Bertuch’s dedication to educating and inspiring curiosity about the natural world. Condition Report: Very good condition with vibrant hand-coloring. Minor age-related foxing and slight toning around the edges, typical of its era. Framing Tip: This piece would shine in a natural wood or antique-style frame with a light cream mat, ideal for emphasizing its botanical and historical charm. Consider UV-protective glass to safeguard its colors from fading.
