EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored copperplate engraving is taken from Friedrich Bertuch's Bilderbuch fur Kinder, or Picture Book for Children, published in Weimar in 1798. The illustration showcases an enchanting assemblage of seven distinct oriole species, including the Eurasian Golden Oriole (Oriolus oriolus), with its vibrant golden and black plumage and distinctive crest, and its female counterpart with her orange-brown coloration. Also featured are the Venezuelan Troupial (Icterus icterus), the Oriole Blackbird (Gymnomystax mexicanus), the Greater Antillean Grackle (Quiscalus niger), and the Red-breasted Blackbird (Sturnella militaris). The Eurasian Golden Oriole is a widespread bird species native to Europe, Asia, and North Africa. The Venezuelan Troupial, on the other hand, is native to the tropical regions of South America. The Oriole Blackbird is found in Mexico and Central America, while the Greater Antillean Grackle is endemic to the Caribbean islands. The Red-breasted Blackbird is native to North America. This illustration is a testament to the intricate detail and artistry of the time, providing a glimpse into the natural world of the late 18th century. The orioles, with their bright plumage and melodic songs, have long been popular subjects in ornithology and natural history, and this illustration serves as a beautiful reminder of their enduring allure. The handcolored copperplate engraving process involved the creation of a metal plate with intricate lines and details, which were then inked and hand-colored by skilled artisans. The result is a stunningly detailed and lifelike image that captures the essence of each bird species, making this an invaluable addition to any collection of historical ornithological illustrations.
