Cardinal Cardinalis Frederick Miscellany Naturalist Nodder Shaw Zoological
EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored copperplate engraving showcases the Northern Cardinal, Cardinalis cardinalis, a vibrant and iconic bird species native to North America. The illustration is taken from George Shaw and Frederick Nodder's "The Naturalist's Miscellany," published in 1792. Shaw and Nodder were renowned naturalists and illustrators of their time, and their work was instrumental in documenting the natural history of the New World. The Northern Cardinal is depicted in this illustration with its distinctive red plumage, a coloration that is particularly striking against the wintery backdrop. The male cardinal's crest is raised, adding to the regal appearance of the bird. The female, which is shown in the background, has a more subdued coloration, with a reddish-brown body and a red bill and crest. The Northern Cardinal is a year-round resident in the eastern United States and parts of Canada. They are omnivorous birds, feeding on seeds, fruits, insects, and small animals. The Northern Cardinal is also known for its distinctive call, which sounds like a clear "whit-whit-whit" followed by a loud "cheer-cheer-cheer." This beautiful illustration not only showcases the natural beauty of the Northern Cardinal but also provides a glimpse into the rich history of natural history illustration. The intricate details of the engraving and the vibrant colors of the hand-painting make this a true work of art, and a valuable addition to any collection of natural history prints.
