EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "Strange domestic birds" takes us back to the 19th century and showcases a fascinating collection of avian wonders. The print, part of a private collection, originates from Friedrich Justin Bertuch's renowned "Picture Book for Children" published between 1790 and 1830. In this artwork, we are introduced to an array of peculiar feathered creatures. Among them is the Mandelkrähe or Blaukrähe (Blue Crow), with its striking blue plumage that catches the eye. Another intriguing bird depicted here is the Wiedehopf (Hoopoe), known for its distinctive crown-like crest and vibrant colors. The print also features two crossbill species - the red and yellow Kreuzvogel (Crossbird) - showcasing their unique crossed beaks which enable them to extract seeds from pinecones effortlessly. Additionally, we encounter the enchanting Nachtigall (Nightingale), celebrated for its melodious song that has inspired poets and musicians throughout history. Accompanied by scientific names such as Coracias garrula (European Roller), Upupa epops (Hoopoe), Loxia curvirostra (Red Crossbill), Motacilla luscinia (Nightingale) – this engraving not only captivates with its artistic beauty but also serves as an educational resource about these remarkable winged creatures.
