EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "The lesser Mock-Bird" showcases the exquisite artistry of George Edwards and Michael Seligmann. Created between 1749-73, this print is a testament to their dedication in capturing the beauty of nature. Originally engraved by George Edwards for his renowned works "A Natural History of Uncommon Birds" and "Gleanings of Natural History". Michael Seligmann re-engraved the plates with meticulous precision. He then combined these engravings with Mark Catesby's masterpiece "A Natural History of Carolina, Florida and the Bahama Islands". The result is a harmonious blend that seamlessly translates names into German while adding unique figures and plants absent from the originals. "The lesser Mock-Bird" portrays Turdus cinereus minor, a species known for its melodious songs and graceful appearance. With intricate details meticulously etched onto paper, every feather seems to come alive under our gaze. This artwork not only captures the essence of this enchanting bird but also serves as a testament to humanity's fascination with natural history. Now preserved in a private collection, this print continues to inspire awe and admiration among enthusiasts of birds, animals, illustration, and natural history alike. Its timeless appeal transcends boundaries as it invites us into an era where artistry met science in perfect harmony.
