EDITORS COMMENTS
This colored engraving titled "The little brown Bullfinch. The black and yellow Manakyn" showcases the exquisite artistry of George Edwards, a renowned natural history illustrator from the 18th century. Originally engraved by Edwards himself, this particular print has been re-engraved by Michael Seligmann, a German artist and art dealer. The artwork is part of a private collection and combines elements from Edwards' works A Natural History of Uncommon Birds with Catesby's A Natural History of Carolina, Florida and the Bahama Islands.
