About the Item

Tropical & European Birds Print: Toucan, Trogon, Kingfisher – Antique 1867 This beautiful antique print depicts a variety of tropical and European birds, including toucans, trogons, kingfishers, woodpeckers, and songbirds, rendered in fine hand-coloured engravings. It originates from the Atlas der Natuurlijke Geschiedenis voor scholen en huisgezinnen, adapted into Dutch by T.C. Winkler after Traugott Bromme, and published in Amsterdam by J.C. Loman in 1867. Created for educational use, this print demonstrates avian diversity across continents for 19th-century students and nature enthusiasts. The labelled figures include: 1. Cockatoo (Cacatuidae species) 2. Toucan (Ramphastos species) 3. Trogon (Trogonidae species) 4. Cuckoo (Cuculus canorus) 5. Shrike (Lanius species) 6. Kingfisher (Alcedo atthis) 7. Woodpecker (Picidae species) 8. Finch (Fringillidae species) 9. Sunbird (Nectariniidae species) 10. Hoopoe (Upupa epops) 11. Creeper (Certhiidae species) 12. Starling (Sturnus vulgaris) 13. Song thrush (Turdus philomelos) 14. Pied wagtail (Motacilla alba) 15. Bee-eater (Meropidae species) 16. Warbler (Sylviidae species) 17. Redstart (Phoenicurus species) 18. Wren (Troglodytidae species) 19. Nuthatch (Sitta europaea) 20. Pipit (Anthus species) 21. Spotted flycatcher (Muscicapa striata) 22. (not clearly visible) 23. White wagtail (Motacilla alba) The print was produced using copper engraving with meticulous hand colouring, capturing fine feather patterns, bill shapes, and natural plumage hues. Birds are shown perched on trees or flying within stylised European and tropical landscapes, adding decorative beauty to their scientific depiction. Such plates were essential in schools and home libraries, illustrating zoological knowledge before field photography was available. Condition summary: Good condition for its age, with slight overall toning and minor foxing mainly in the margins. The paper is strong with no tears or repairs, and the hand colouring remains bright and detailed. Framing tips: Frame this avian print in a black, dark wood, or walnut frame with a cream or off-white mount to highlight its colourful details and engraving quality. For a traditional interior, a gold frame adds antique warmth. UV-protective glass is recommended to preserve colours and prevent further toning. This antique ornithological print will enrich any bird art collection or natural history decor, adding refined educational charm and timeless beauty to your wall.
