EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "The round-crested Duck" transports us back to the 18th century when natural history illustrations were highly sought after. Created by Mark Catesby and re-engraved by Michael Seligmann, this print is a remarkable fusion of two renowned works: George Edwards' "A Natural History of Uncommon Birds" and Catesby's "A Natural History of Carolina, Florida and the Bahama Islands". The attention to detail in this artwork is simply breathtaking. The round-crested duck takes center stage, its vibrant plumage beautifully captured with meticulous precision. Every feather seems to come alive on the page as if ready to take flight at any moment. Surrounding the majestic bird are carefully depicted figures and plants that add depth and context to the scene. Michael Seligmann's contribution cannot be overlooked either; his translation of names into German brings an international touch to this masterpiece. Additionally, he included additional figures and plants not present in the original works, making this print even more unique. As we admire this piece from a private collection, it serves as a reminder of our fascination with nature's wonders throughout history. The combination of artistry and scientific accuracy showcased here exemplifies why these engravings continue to captivate audiences today. Whether you are an avid bird enthusiast or simply appreciate fine art, "The round-crested Duck" offers a glimpse into both our past admiration for nature's beauty and our ongoing desire to preserve it for future
