EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving from Bertuch's "Bilderbuch fur Kinder" showcases the beauty of four different bird species - the European roller, hoopoe, red crossbill, and thrush nightingale. Each bird is meticulously detailed, capturing their unique colors and features with precision.
The European roller, with its vibrant blue feathers and striking black markings, stands out against the backdrop of green foliage. The hoopoe's distinctive crest and patterned plumage add a touch of whimsy to the composition. The red crossbill displays its namesake crossed bill in shades of red and yellow, while the thrush nightingale exudes elegance with its subtle brown tones.
Friedrich Johann Bertuch's dedication to creating an encyclopedia for children that included illustrations of natural history is evident in this print. His attention to detail and commitment to accuracy shine through in each carefully rendered bird.
As we admire this piece of artistry from 1798, we are reminded of the importance of preserving these beautiful creatures and their habitats. With some species listed as near threatened or endangered today, it serves as a poignant reminder of our responsibility to protect wildlife for future generations to enjoy.
