EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored copperplate engraving, taken from Friedrich Bertuch's Bilderbuch fur Kinder (Picture Book for Children), published in Weimar in 1798, showcases an enchanting assortment of partridges, francolins, and a red-necked spurfowl. The image features six distinct species of game birds, each displayed in intricate detail. In the foreground, a pair of Grey Partridges (Perdix perdix) can be seen. The male, with its distinctive black and white feathers, stands proudly, while the female blends seamlessly into her surroundings with her brown and grey plumage. Next to them, a Red-legged Partridge (Alectoris rufa) is depicted, easily identifiable by its vibrant red legs and distinctive black and white stripes on its flanks. The Rock Partridge (Alectoris graeca) is shown in the lower left corner, with its speckled brown and grey feathers and distinctive red face. Moving on to the francolins, the Chinese Francolin (Francolinus pintadeanus) is depicted in the upper left corner, with its striking black and white plumage and distinctive red face. The Red-necked Spurfowl (Pternistis afer) is shown in the upper right corner, with its distinctive red neck and black and white stripes on its flanks. This beautiful illustration not only serves as a visual representation of these fascinating birds but also offers a glimpse into the natural world of the late 18th century. The intricate handcoloring and meticulous copperplate engraving techniques used in the creation of this image showcase the skill and artistry of the time.
