EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph showcases a charming family of Hawfinches (Coccothraustes coccothraustes) in their natural habitat. The prominent male Hawfinch, with its distinctive red face and black and white plumage, is perched on a branch, displaying his vibrant colors. Two females, one with a more subdued appearance, sit nearby, their brown and grey feathers providing a perfect camouflage in the forest. A young Hawfinch, with its immature plumage, is seen hopping around the nest, which is intricately woven from twigs and grasses, securely anchored in a tree. Five tiny, speckled eggs, carefully incubated by the females, are visible inside the nest. This beautiful illustration is taken from Carl Hoffmann's "Buch der Welt" or "Book of the World," published in Stuttgart, Germany, in 1848. The intricate details and lifelike colors of this lithograph make it an educational and captivating piece, offering a glimpse into the world of these fascinating birds.
