EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "The Red Bird from Surinam, 1749-73" showcases the artistic brilliance of George Edwards and Michael Seligmann. Originally engraved by Edwards in his renowned works on uncommon birds, this print was later re-engraved by Seligmann to combine it with Catesby's work on the natural history of Carolina, Florida, and the Bahama Islands. Displayed against a backdrop of lush foliage and vibrant flowers, the red bird takes center stage with its striking plumage. Its scarlet feathers shimmer under the sunlight while intricate details bring every contour to life. This exquisite illustration captures not only the beauty but also the essence of this Surinamese avian species. Seligmann's contribution to this print goes beyond translation; he adds additional figures and plants that were absent in the original works. Through his skilled craftsmanship as an engraver and illustrator, he enhances both aesthetic appeal and scientific accuracy. "The Red Bird from Surinam" is a testament to nature's wonders as well as human creativity. It serves as a reminder of our fascination with wildlife throughout history and how art has played a vital role in documenting these marvels for generations to come. This particular print is part of a private collection but continues to captivate audiences worldwide through its digital reproduction by ePurix Verlag Volker Christen. As we admire this enchanting piece today, let us appreciate both nature's diversity and humanity's dedication to preserving its splendor through
