EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "The Black and Spotted Heathcock" is a true masterpiece that showcases the talent of both George Edwards and Michael Seligmann. Originally engraved by Edwards in his renowned works "A Natural History of Uncommon Birds" and "Gleanings of Natural History" this print has been re-engraved by Seligmann, who added his own unique touch. Combining elements from Catesby's work "A Natural History of Carolina, Florida and the Bahama Islands". Seligmann seamlessly translated names into German while incorporating additional figures and plants not present in the original engravings. The result is a stunning fusion that brings together different perspectives on nature's beauty.

Displayed proudly in a private collection today, this coloured engraving continues to captivate viewers with its exquisite detail and timeless charm.
