EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "The Arabian Bustard, 1749-73" showcases the remarkable artistry of George Edwards and Michael Seligmann. The print is a fusion of two renowned works in natural history - Edwards' "A Natural History of Uncommon Birds" and Catesby's "A Natural History of Carolina, Florida and the Bahama Islands". Originally engraved by George Edwards himself, this particular version was re-engraved by the talented German artist and art dealer Michael Seligmann. In his adaptation, Seligmann translated the names into German while adding new figures and plants not found in the original illustrations. "The Arabian Bustard" takes center stage in this composition, its majestic presence captured with meticulous detail. With its long neck extended gracefully upwards and wings slightly spread apart, this magnificent bird exudes an aura of elegance. Its intricate plumage is brought to life through vibrant colors that add depth to every feather. As we admire this engraving from a private collection now made available through ePurix Verlag Volker Christen, we are transported back to a time when scientific exploration merged seamlessly with artistic expression. This artwork serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with nature's wonders. Whether you are an avid bird enthusiast or simply appreciate fine art, "The Arabian Bustard" print offers both aesthetic pleasure and educational value. It invites us to marvel at the beauty of our natural world while paying homage to the skillful craftsmanship behind its creation.
