Catesby - Seligmann - 1749

J. M. SELIGMANN AFTER MARK CATESBY

 

Finely handpainted copperplate prints re-engraved by Johann Michael Seligmann (1720-1762) for his “Sammlung verschiedener auslandischer und seltener Vogel” published in 1749.

These engravings by Seligmann were based on the original plates from Mark Catesby's "Natural History of Carolina, Florida and Islands. In some cases Seligmann rearranged Catesby's original images or added additional flowers and plants for artistic effect.
