EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a vividly colored lithograph of the "Great Auk" from 1864. Created by an anonymous German artist in the 19th century, this masterpiece is now part of a private collection. The artwork was originally published in Leopold Joseph Fitzinger's "Bilder-Atlas zur wissenschaftlich-populären Naturgeschichte der Vögel in ihren sämtlichen Hauptformen" (1864), which translates to "Picture Atlas for the Scientific-Popular Natural History of Birds in all their Main Forms". The image depicts various species, including the majestic Great Auk and the regal King Penguin, also known as Aptenodytes patagonicus. These birds are beautifully illustrated with intricate details that bring them to life on paper. The Great Auk, or Alca impennis, stands out with its distinctive appearance and remarkable presence. Through this stunning lithograph, we can appreciate not only the artistic talent behind it but also gain insight into the diverse world of avian creatures. It serves as a reminder of our planet's rich biodiversity and encourages us to cherish and protect these magnificent beings. Displayed by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, this print captures both nature's beauty and humanity's fascination with it. Its historical significance adds depth to any art enthusiast's collection while offering an opportunity for bird enthusiasts to delve into ornithological wonders from centuries past.
