EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts a variety of unclean, or non-kosher, land birds as outlined in Jewish law. The concept of impure or unclean animals plays a significant role in Jewish tradition and religious dietary practices. According to the Torah, certain animals are designated as kosher, meaning they are fit for consumption, while others are considered impure or unclean and are forbidden to be eaten. The birds illustrated in this print include the screech owl, the ostrich, and the ibis. The ostrich, with its long neck and distinctive feathers, is shown pecking at the ground, while the owl and ibis are depicted perched on branches. The screech owl, with its distinctive facial discs and hooked beak, is a nocturnal bird of prey, while the ibis is a wading bird with a long, curved beak. The distinction between kosher and non-kosher animals is based on a number of criteria, including the animal's chewing cud, having cloven hooves, and being ritually slaughtered in a specific way. Birds are considered kosher if they have fully developed feathers, claws, and both toes are covered in scales. Land birds that do not meet these criteria, such as those depicted in this print, are considered non-kosher and are forbidden to be eaten according to Jewish law. This engraving serves as a visual representation of the intricacies of Jewish dietary laws and the importance of adhering to tradition and religious principles in daily life.
