EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored copperplate engraving, taken from Friedrich Bertuch's Bilderbuch fur Kinder (Picture Book for Children), published in Weimar in 1798, showcases an enchanting collection of species of shrikes. The image features six distinct species of these intriguing birds: the Great Grey Shrike (Lanius excubitor, 1), the Lesser Grey Shrike (Lanius minor, 2), the Red-backed Shrike (Lanius collurio, 3), and three unidentified species. The Great Grey Shrike, with its distinctive black mask and white eyebrow, is a common resident in Europe, Asia, and North Africa. The Lesser Grey Shrike, also known as the Masked Shrike, is smaller in size and has a more slender bill. Both species are renowned for their hunting skills and the way they impale their prey on thorns or barbs. The Red-backed Shrike (3) is a widespread resident in Europe, Asia, and North Africa. It is easily identified by its red back and wings, which contrast sharply with its grey body and black mask. The three unidentified species in this illustration are labeled as the French Shrike (4), the Italian Shrike (5), and the Senegalese Shrike (6). While the French and Italian Shrikes are believed to be the European and Eastern Subalpine Shrikes, respectively, the identity of the Senegalese Shrike remains uncertain. This stunning ornithological illustration is a testament to the intrigue and fascination that birds have held for generations. The meticulous handcoloring and copperplate engraving techniques used in the 18th century continue to captivate our imaginations and inspire a deep appreciation for the natural world.
