Perched Elegance: A 19th Century Lithograph of the Pine Grosbeak Bird, 1929
About the Item
This is an antique print of the Pine Grosbeak, known scientifically as "Pinicola enucleator". The bird is depicted with great attention to detail, showing its distinct plumage with various shades of red and hints of yellow and black. The illustration is notably realistic, capturing the texture of the feathers, the subtle variations in color, and the bird’s calm demeanor as it perches.
The title at the bottom identifies both the common name and the Latin binomial, which is a standard convention in scientific illustrations. The name "Talbit ♂" likely refers to the male Pine Grosbeak, as suggested by the masculine symbol, and reflects the nomenclature or local name used by Magnus von Wright or in his region.
Magnus von Wright, as mentioned in your description, was a notable Swedish-Finnish artist who specialized not only in bird illustrations but also in landscapes. His work on "Svenska Foglar Efter Naturen Och Pa Stenritade" which translates to "Swedish Birds After Nature and On Lithographs," showcases his skill in lithography, a printing method used for fine art prints during the 19th century, which allowed for high-quality reproductions of artwork.
The print would have been part of a larger collection intended to depict Swedish birds realistically and to serve both educational and artistic purposes. Von Wright's illustrations are valuable for both their scientific accuracy and their aesthetic appeal, reflecting the biodiversity of the region during his time. The accuracy and detail found in this print would have been particularly valuable to ornithologists and nature enthusiasts of the era, contributing to the study and appreciation of bird species in their natural habitats.

- Entomological Elegance: A Collection of 19th Century Beetle EngravingsLocated in Langweer, NLThe images are finely detailed engravings of beetles from a 19th-century scientific collection. Each beetle is rendered with precision, showcasing their unique physical characteristics, such as the segmentation of their bodies, the texture of their carapaces, the patterns and colors of their wing covers (elytra), and the varying shapes and lengths of their antennae and legs. The species, as labeled in the engravings, are as follows: From the first image: 1. **Apidie** - Possibly a reference to the Apidae family, which includes bees, but in this context, it likely refers to a type of beetle. 2. **Attelabe** - Likely a variant of the name for beetles in the family Attelabidae, known as leaf-rolling beetles. 3. **Bousier** - Common French name for dung beetles, which are part of the Scarabaeidae family. 4. **Cétoine** - Refers to beetles in the subfamily Cetoniinae, known as flower beetles. 5. **Geotrupe** - A genus of earth-boring dung beetles. 6. **Hanneton** - Common French name for beetles in the family Scarabaeidae, particularly the June beetles or May bugs. 7. **Oryctes** - A genus that includes the rhinoceros beetles. 8. **Trichie** - Refers to beetles in the genus Trichius, which are often found in flowers and resemble small bumblebees. From the second image: 1. **Attelabe** - Again, likely referring to the Attelabidae family of leaf-rolling beetles. 2. **Calosoma** - A genus of ground beetles...Category
