Description We are proud to be able to offer a fine selection of original hand colored engravings by Mark Catesby and George Edwards from their masterful work entitled Sammlung Verschiedener Auslandischer Und Seltener Vogel... which was published between 1749-76. This is commonly referred to as the "German Edition". Johann Seligmann, a German publisher, issued a nine volume compilation of the work of the Englishmen Mark Catesby (1683-1749) and George Edwards (1694-1773). Catesby has been called the “Founder of American Ornithology” because of his monumental Natural History of Carolina, Florida and the Bahama Islands (London, 1731-43), the first natural history of American flora and fauna. This work included 220 prints which for the first time systematically illustrated American birds, animals and plants. Edwards was, like Catesby, one of the pioneers of natural history documentation and is known as the “Father of British Ornithology.” His marvelous A Natural History of Birds (London: 1743-51) was produced almost single-handedly: Edwards not only wrote the text for the book but also made the drawings, etched the plates and hand colored the prints to be bound in each volume. Thank you for looking and please be sure and look at our other auctions for other fine works by Audubon from the first as well as the 1860 editions of the Birds Of America. We also have other architectural, natural history plates as well as original maps, all guaranteed original.
