Created by Mark Catesby, a renowned artist and naturalist, this print showcases his meticulous attention to detail and passion for capturing the beauty of wildlife. Originally engraved by George Edwards in his works on uncommon birds, this particular version was re-engraved by Michael Seligmann, a talented German artist. Seligmann not only translated the names into German but also added additional figures and plants that were absent in the original plates.
