EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored copperplate engraving, taken from Friedrich Bertuch's Bilderbuch fur Kinder (Picture Book for Children), published in Weimar in 1798, showcases an enchanting array of wading birds. The image features several species of waders, including the Woodcock (Scolopax rusticola), with a male on the left and two females on the right. The Woodcock is known for its distinctive elongated beak and cryptic plumage, which helps it blend into its surroundings. Adjacent to the Woodcock are three Snipe (Gallinago gallinago), with their long, thin bills and distinctive head markings. The Ruff (Philomachus pugnax) is depicted in both male and female form, with the male's bright orange-red breast contrasting sharply with the female's more muted plumage. The Lapwing (Vanellus vanellus) is shown in the lower left corner, with its distinctive black "moustache" and red cap. Nearby, a Sanderling (Calidris alba) is seen in the foreground, with its short, dark bill and white underparts. Completing the scene is a Golden Plover (Pluvialis apricaria), with its striking golden-orange eye ring and black and white plumage. This exquisite illustration not only showcases the natural beauty of these wading birds but also provides a glimpse into the ornithological knowledge of the time. The meticulous attention to detail and the use of handcoloring add an extra layer of depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a true treasure for anyone interested in birds or the history of natural history illustration.
