EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "The little Black and White Duck, 1749-73" showcases the exquisite artistry of George Edwards and Michael Seligmann. Originally engraved by Edwards in his renowned works A Natural History of Uncommon Birds and Gleanings of Natural History, this particular print has been re-engraved by Seligmann to combine it with Catesby's work A Natural History of Carolina, Florida and the Bahama Islands. The image depicts a charming black and white duck gracefully swimming on calm waters. Its intricate details are brought to life through the skilful use of colour in this engraving. The delicate feathers, sleek body shape, and serene expression make this bird truly mesmerizing. Seligmann's contribution to this piece is evident as he translates the names into German while adding additional figures and plants not present in the original works. This fusion creates a unique blend that enhances both beauty and scientific accuracy. Displayed within a private collection, this print serves as a testament to the timeless allure of natural history illustrations. It transports viewers back to an era when exploration was at its peak, capturing their imagination with its meticulous attention to detail. With birds being symbols of freedom, gracefulness, and resilience across cultures worldwide, "The little Black and White Duck" invites us into its world – one filled with wonderment for nature's marvels.
