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 assembly of seven distinct bird species: the Chaffinch (Fringilla coelebs), Brambling (F. montifringilla), White-winged Snowfinch (Montifringilla nivalis), House Sparrow (F. domestica), Tree Sparrow (Passer montanus), and Rock Sparrow (Petronia petronia). The Chaffinch, with its distinctive red cheek patch, is a common bird found throughout Europe. The Brambling, a winter visitor, can be identified by its brown streaked plumage and orange-red rump. The White-winged Snowfinch, a rare and beautiful bird, is characterized by its white wing bars and pink bill. The House Sparrow, a familiar sight in urban environments, is easily recognized by its gray and brown plumage, with a black bib and rufous crown. The Tree Sparrow, with its distinctive black and white striped head, is a common bird in open country. The Rock Sparrow, a resident of rocky areas, sports a brown back, white underparts, and a distinctive black mask. This charming illustration not only showcases the natural beauty of these birds but also serves as a window into the past, providing a glimpse into the world of natural history as it was understood in the late 18th century. The intricate details of the engraving, combined with the vibrant handcoloring, make this a truly captivating work of art.
