EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "The Eared or Horned Dobchick, 1749-73" showcases the remarkable artistry of George Edwards and Michael Seligmann. Originally engraved by Edwards in his renowned works on uncommon birds, this particular print has been re-engraved by Seligmann and combined with Catesby's work on Carolina, Florida, and the Bahama Islands. The image depicts a stunning bird known as the Eared or Horned Dobchick (Colymbus auritus et cornutus minor canadensis). With its vibrant plumage and distinctive features, this avian beauty is a testament to nature's diversity. The attention to detail in both the bird's anatomy and its surrounding environment is truly remarkable. Seligmann, a German engraver and art dealer from Nuremberg, has not only translated the names into German but also added additional figures and plants that were absent in the original works. This collaboration between two talented artists brings forth an enhanced version of these extraordinary creatures for all to admire. As we gaze upon this exquisite illustration from centuries past, we are reminded of the importance of preserving our natural world. Through their artistic talents, Edwards and Seligmann have immortalized these rare birds for future generations to appreciate. This print serves as a visual reminder of our responsibility to protect and cherish Earth's diverse flora and fauna. Displayed proudly in private collections worldwide, this enchanting artwork continues to inspire awe among admirers of birds
