EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving from the 19th century showcases a collection of strange water birds, beautifully captured by the German School. The print, part of a private collection, is an exquisite example from Friedrich Justin Bertuch's "Picture Book for Children" published between 1790 and 1830. The artwork features an array of remarkable avian species that inhabit aquatic environments. Among them are the graceful swan, majestic albatross, elegant pelican, peculiar spoonbill goose, elusive bittern, and the enigmatic cormorant. Each bird is meticulously depicted with intricate details and vibrant colors that bring their unique characteristics to life. From Anas olor (swan) to Pelecanus carbo (cormorant), these extraordinary creatures showcase nature's diversity in all its splendor. The engraving allows us to appreciate their distinctive features and marvel at their ability to thrive in various water habitats. This print serves as a testament to both artistic skill and scientific observation during this period. It offers viewers a glimpse into the wonders of the natural world while highlighting the importance of preserving these magnificent species for future generations.
