The Blue-wing Teal, 1749-73 - A Stunning Coloured Engraving
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases "The Blue-wing Teal" a remarkable coloured engraving created by Mark Catesby and re-engraved by Michael Seligmann. The artwork is part of a private collection and holds immense historical significance. Originally engraved by George Edwards in his renowned works on uncommon birds, the plates were later reworked by Seligmann to incorporate Catesby's masterpiece titled "A Natural History of Carolina, Florida and the Bahama Islands". Seligmann not only translated the names into German but also added additional figures and plants that were absent in the original engravings. In this enchanting illustration, we are introduced to the Blaues americanisches Kriechentlein (Blue-wing Teal), a species native to North America. Its vibrant blue wings beautifully contrast with its brown body as it gracefully floats on water. This depiction truly captures the essence of these magnificent creatures. As we delve into this piece of natural history, we are transported back in time to witness nature's wonders through artistry. The attention to detail and precision showcased in this coloured engraving is awe-inspiring. Every feather seems meticulously etched onto paper, bringing these birds to life before our eyes. This print serves as a testament to both artistic talent and scientific exploration during an era when documenting wildlife was paramount. It reminds us of the importance of preserving our natural heritage for future generations while
