About this plate
Der blaue Hänffling (Linaria caerulea) is from Catesby - Sammlung Verschiedener Ausländischer und Seltener Vogel by Johann Michael Seligmann (1749–1776). Today the species is known as the Indigo Bunting. This facsimile is made from the original and printed at the size of the original sheet, 9¾ × 15¾ in (25 × 40 cm).
About the original
Between 1749 and 1776 the Nuremberg engraver and publisher Johann Michael Seligmann (1720-1762) issued Sammlung verschiedener ausländischer und seltener Vögel, nine volumes that brought the birds of the English naturalists Mark Catesby (1683-1749) and George Edwards (1694-1773) to German readers, in re-engraved, hand-coloured copper plates; to some he added plants or landscapes.
These plates follow Catesby’s Natural History of Carolina, Florida and the Bahama Islands; among them is the ivory-billed woodpecker, ‘Der groste Specht mit dem weissen Schnabel’.
