About the Item
Ornithology Print of Cranes, Flamingos, Herons and Waders by T Bromme c1865
This hand-colored lithograph, published circa 1865 by German geographer and naturalist Traugott Bromme, features a rich diversity of wading birds and wetland species. It was originally included in Bromme’s *Illustrirter Hand-Atlas der Erde und der Menschheit*, an ambitious 19th-century atlas that brought together geography, zoology, and ethnography in finely illustrated volumes.
The central composition is dominated by a large bustard (3), surrounded by a variety of elegant long-legged birds. A crane (4), flamingo (10), and stork (6) stand in stately postures, while a spoonbill (9), glossy ibis (7), and egret or heron (5) feed at the water’s edge. Nearby are numerous shorebirds and waders such as sandpipers, stilts, avocets, plovers (12), lapwings (16), and a curlew (20) with its distinct curved bill.
Also included are a jacana, a cormorant (23), a stone curlew (19), a secretary bird (2), and a variety of small marsh birds feeding or foraging along shallow banks. Each bird is labeled and placed within a landscape of reeds, grasses, and gentle water, bringing natural context to the detailed scientific illustration.
Bromme’s prints were created not just as art, but as educational tools, and remain valued today for their clear draughtsmanship, balanced composition, and historical significance. This plate is a superb example of how 19th-century printing brought natural history to life in the era before widespread photography.
