About the Item
Title: Vibrant 1805 Handcolored Engraving of Tropical Birds from Bertuch's "Bilderbuch für Kinder"
Description: This vibrant handcolored engraving from 1805 features six tropical bird species in stunning detail. The birds include:
1. Palm Crow (Corvus palmarum), known for its dark plumage.
2. Scarlet Tanager (Piranga olivacea), with its striking red body and black wings.
3. Blue-and-Red Tanager (Passerina cyanea), a dazzling blend of blue and red.
4. Northern Cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis), famous for its bright red color.
5. Rose-breasted Grosbeak (*Pheucticus ludovicianus*), with a rosy chest and contrasting wings.
6. Crested Cardinal (Paroaria coronata), with its unique red crest and black-and-white body.
This engraving comes from Friedrich Johann Bertuch's celebrated "Bilderbuch für Kinder" (Picture Book for Children), a 12-volume encyclopedia published between 1790 and 1830 in Weimar, Germany. Bertuch's work, blending scientific accuracy with artistic beauty, aimed to educate young minds about the wonders of nature.
A perfect addition for collectors of ornithological art or historical natural history prints, this engraving captures the vibrant beauty of tropical birds while showcasing early 19th-century illustration techniques.
Condition: Good condition with minor foxing and slight toning typical for its age.
