EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "Strange swimming birds" takes us back to the 19th century when it was published in Friedrich Justin Bertuch's Picture Book for Children. The print showcases a variety of peculiar avian creatures that inhabit the watery realms. Intriguingly, the image features four distinct species: the red-billed tropicbird, great white pelican, surinam darter, and cormorant. Each bird possesses its own unique characteristics and charm. The rauschnaablige pelikan with its elongated beak stands out against the backdrop of vibrant colors. The gefleckte Wasserrabe exhibits striking patterns on its feathers while perched gracefully nearby. The rotschwaanzige Tropikvogel catches our attention with its fiery red tail feathers contrasting beautifully with its sleek body. Lastly, we have the surinamische Schlangenvogel gliding effortlessly across the water surface as if defying gravity itself. This exquisite engraving is a testament to both artistic skill and scientific observation from an era long gone by. It serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with nature's wonders throughout history. Now preserved in a private collection, this piece allows us to appreciate not only these strange swimming birds but also the artistry behind their depiction. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, we can delve into this mesmerizing artwork and immerse ourselves in an enchanting world where imagination meets reality
