EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "The Long-tailed Duck from Hudsons Bay, 1749-73" showcases the exquisite beauty of nature captured by George Edwards and re-engraved by Michael Seligmann. The print is part of a private collection and represents an amalgamation of two renowned works in natural history. Originally engraved by George Edwards in his acclaimed publications "A Natural History of Uncommon Birds" and "Gleanings of Natural History" this piece was later enhanced and combined with Mark Catesby's work, "A Natural History of Carolina, Florida and the Bahama Islands". Seligmann's contribution involved translating names into German while adding additional figures and plants not present in the original illustrations. The artwork portrays a stunning long-tailed duck native to Hudsons Bay. Its vibrant plumage mesmerizes viewers as they witness the intricate details meticulously etched onto paper. This masterpiece serves as a testament to the skillful craftsmanship employed during that era. Displayed against a neutral background, this engraving allows us to appreciate every feathered contour on the bird's body. It invites us to delve into its world, exploring its habitat through artistry rather than observation alone. As we gaze upon this remarkable creation, we are reminded of our connection with nature and how it has inspired artists throughout history. The Long-tailed Duck from Hudsons Bay transports us back in time while simultaneously reminding us of the timeless allure found within our natural surroundings.
