About the Item
Title: Der Albatros - Hand-Colored Engraving of the Albatross by Johann Michael Seligmann, 18th Century
This rare hand-colored engraving, titled 'Der Albatros', features the majestic Albatross (*Albatros maxima*), depicted with its distinctive broad wings and powerful beak. This piece is part of Johann Michael Seligmann’s celebrated *Sammlung verschiedener ausländischer und seltener Vögel* (Collection of Various Foreign and Rare Birds), a renowned series that brought the illustrations of prominent naturalists like George Edwards to a German-speaking audience. Seligmann's engravings are notable for their blend of scientific detail and artistic beauty.
The plate, numbered "Tab. LXXI," captures the albatross in fine detail, with a lifelike representation of its plumage and robust build. The hand-applied colors emphasize the bird’s striking features, while the landscape elements in the background add context to its natural habitat. The French title, *L’Albatros*, and the Latin nomenclature underscore the print’s historical significance as a piece of scientific illustration.
This engraving is a perfect acquisition for collectors of antique ornithological art or enthusiasts of 18th-century natural history. Seligmann’s dedication to accuracy and elegance is evident in this work, making it a treasured addition to any collection focused on vintage bird illustrations.
