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 impressive assembly of birds of prey. The image features six distinct species: the White-tailed Sea Eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla), represented by a male and a female, the Short-toed Snake Eagle (Circaetus gallicus) in the form of three individuals, an Osprey (Pandion haliaetus), a Red-tailed Hawk (Buteo jamaicensis), and a Buzzard (Buteo buteo). The White-tailed Sea Eagles, with their striking white tails and powerful builds, are depicted in majestic poses, surveying their surroundings with keen eyes. The female, larger than the male, is shown with her wings spread wide, emphasizing her impressive wingspan. The Short-toed Snake Eagles, characterized by their short, hooked beaks and long, curved toes, are shown in various hunting positions, ready to strike their prey. The Osprey, a fish-eating bird of prey, is shown with its distinctive hooked beak and broad, wings spread wide. The Red-tailed Hawk, a common bird of prey in North America, is depicted with its distinctive red tail feathers fanned out, while the Buzzard, a widespread bird of prey in Europe and Asia, is shown with its wings slightly spread and its sharp, hooked beak. This intricately detailed illustration offers a glimpse into the natural history of these magnificent birds, providing an educational and visually engaging experience for young readers of the time. The use of handcoloring adds depth and vibrancy to the engraving, making it a truly captivating work of art.
