EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Round-crested Duck, the Greater Dobchick, and the All-green Hummingbird" is a stunning example of George Edwards' exquisite illustrations from his works on uncommon birds. Originally engraved by Edwards himself, this particular print was re-engraved by Michael Seligmann, a German engraver and art dealer. Combining Edwards' work with Mark Catesby's "A Natural History of Carolina, Florida and the Bahama Islands". Seligmann translated the names into German and added some additional figures and plants not present in the originals. The result is a harmonious blend of two renowned naturalists' contributions to ornithology. In this print, we are treated to three remarkable bird species: the Round-crested Duck (Merganser crista rotunda), the Greater Dobchick (Colymbus major), and the All-green Hummingbird (Mellisuga viridis). Each bird is meticulously depicted with vibrant colors that bring their unique features to life. As we admire these avian wonders, it becomes evident why Edwards' illustrations have stood the test of time. His attention to detail captures not only their physical attributes but also their essence as creatures intricately woven into nature's tapestry. Whether you are an avid bird enthusiast or simply appreciate fine art, this print serves as a testament to both scientific exploration and artistic mastery. It invites us to marvel at Earth's diverse fauna while reminding us of our responsibility to protect these precious beings for generations to come.
