About the Item
This print is an old-colored lithography by Carl Wilhelm Hahn from around 1820 and it's listed in Nissen's bibliographic catalog of zoological books, which is referenced as "Nissen 403."
This lithography is from Carl Wilhelm Hahn's work titled "Birds from Asia, Africa, America & New Holland in Illustrations after Nature with Descriptions by Him and Several Naturalists," which was published by Lechner in Nuremberg. Given this context, the bird depicted in the lithography is likely from one of the regions mentioned (Asia, Africa, America, or New Holland - which is an old name for Australia) and was illustrated based on natural observations of the time.
The text accompanying the image seems to be a scientific name that is not correctly matched to the bird, which is a known issue in historical natural history works where mislabeling could occur. The correct identification of the bird would require cross-referencing Hahn's work with modern taxonomic databases or historical records that could reveal the modern name of the bird depicted. Without access to these resources, it would be challenging to provide the modern name of the bird.
More research needed.
