EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Long-tailed Sparrow, and the Dusky Linnet" a beautifully colored engraving created by George Edwards in 1749-73. The artwork is part of a private collection and holds significant historical value. Originally engraved by Edwards himself in his renowned works "A Natural History of Uncommon Birds" and "Gleanings of Natural History" this particular piece was re-engraved by Michael Seligmann, a German engraver, illustrator, and art dealer from Nuremberg.
