EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving depicts the Common Crane (Grus grus, Grus nostra), a magnificent bird that has graced the Earth for over ten million years. The image is based on an illustration by Barbara Regina Dietzsch, created for Georg Wolfgang Knorr's Deliciae Naturae Selectae, published by Blusse and Son in Nuremberg in 1771. Dr. Christoph Jacob Trew, a renowned naturalist, owned this intriguing specimen, which was likely part of his Wunderkammer or Cabinet of Curiosities. The Common Crane is the tallest living European bird, with adults reaching heights of up to 1.2 meters (4 feet). Known for their distinctive red crowns and long, elegant necks, these birds are a sight to behold. They are also renowned for their complex mating rituals, which involve elaborate dances and vocalizations. The Common Crane's range extends from Europe to northern Asia, and they are known to migrate long distances each year. These birds are an essential part of many ecosystems, as they help to maintain a healthy balance by feeding on a variety of insects, amphibians, and small mammals. This stunning engraving is a testament to the beauty and intrigue of the natural world, which captivated collectors and naturalists alike during the 18th century. The meticulous attention to detail in the hand-coloring and engraving process brings the Common Crane to life, providing a window into the past and a reminder of the wonders that can be found in nature.
