EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Triangular Spotted Pigeon" in all its vibrant glory. Created between 1749 and 1773, this coloured engraving by George Edwards has been re-engraved by Michael Seligmann, a talented German artist and art dealer from Nuremberg. Originally featured in Edwards' renowned works "A Natural History of Uncommon Birds" and "Gleanings of Natural History". Seligmann took the liberty to combine these plates with Catesby's work titled "A Natural History of Carolina, Florida and the Bahama Islands". In doing so, he translated the names into German while adding some unique figures and plants not found in the original illustrations. "The Triangular Spotted Pigeon" is a true testament to nature's beauty. With its distinctive triangular markings adorning its feathers, this bird stands out amongst its avian counterparts. The intricate details captured through engraving bring this creature to life on paper. Displayed within a private collection, this print serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving our natural history.
