EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "The Grenadier, 1749-73" is a true masterpiece that showcases the incredible 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 particular print has been re-engraved by Seligmann. Seligmann, a German engraver, illustrator, and art dealer from Nuremberg, combined Edwards' plates with the work of Catesby in "A Natural History of Carolina, Florida and the Bahama Islands". He translated the names into German and added some figures and plants not present in the originals. The result is an exquisite fusion of two remarkable bodies of work. "The Grenadier" transports us to a world where birds reign supreme. With its vibrant colours and intricate details, this illustration captures our attention immediately. The bird depicted here is known as Passer angolensis capite nigro collo et uropygio flavis or simply put - a grenadier. As we admire this enchanting piece, we are reminded once again of nature's boundless beauty. From its delicate feathers to its expressive eyes, every aspect has been meticulously rendered by these talented artists. This print serves as a testament to their dedication to capturing the essence of these extraordinary creatures. Whether you are an avid lover of natural history or simply appreciate fine art at its finest, "The Grenadier" will undoubtedly leave you capt
