EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored copperplate engraving, taken from Friedrich Bertuch's Bilderbuch fur Kinder (Picture Book for Children), published in Weimar in 1798, showcases two remarkable and distinct waterfowl species: the Greater Rhea, Rhea americana (Greater Rhea 1), and the Black Swan, Cygnus atratus (Black Swan 2). The Greater Rhea, also known as the American Ostrich, is the largest living flightless bird in the Americas. With its long neck, ostrich-like legs, and a body covered in feathers, this bird is a fascinating sight. The Greater Rhea is native to the grasslands of South America and is often found in flocks. In this illustration, the Greater Rhea is depicted standing gracefully, with its neck arched and its head turned towards the viewer, showcasing its distinctive plumage. The Black Swan, on the other hand, is a species of swan native to the southern hemisphere. Contrary to its name, the Black Swan is not entirely black; it has a glossy black body with a white face and neck. This bird was once thought to be a myth, as Europeans had only seen white swans before. The discovery of the Black Swan in Australia in the late 17th century was a significant event, as it challenged the prevailing beliefs of the time. In this image, the Black Swan is shown swimming elegantly, with its neck outstretched and its wings slightly raised. This beautiful and intricately detailed engraving is a testament to the fascination with ornithology during the late 18th century. The handcoloring adds depth and vibrancy to the illustration, making it a stunning work of art. The image of the Greater Rhea and the Black Swan side by side highlights the diversity and wonder of the natural world, a theme that continues to captivate and inspire us today.
