EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored copperplate engraving, taken from Friedrich Bertuch's Bilderbuch fur Kinder (Picture Book for Children), published in Weimar in 1798, showcases a charming assembly of six different bird species: the Goldfinch (Carduelis carduelis), Blue Chaffinch (Fringilla teydea), Siskin (Carduelis spinus), Linnet (Carduelis cannabina), and Redpoll (Carduelis flammea). The intricate details of each bird's plumage are beautifully rendered, with the Goldfinch's vibrant red face and yellow wings, the Blue Chaffinch's distinctive blue-grey hue, the Siskin's brown and yellow feathers, the Linnet's brown and orange stripes, and the Redpoll's reddish-brown cap and pink bill all shining brightly. The engraving's historical significance lies in its inclusion in one of the earliest known German-language picture books for children, making it an essential piece of both ornithological and educational history. This timeless illustration continues to captivate viewers with its exquisite artistry and natural beauty, inviting us to appreciate the rich diversity of the avian world.
