Title: Der Reiher aus der Hudsons-Bay - Hand-Colored Engraving of the Hudson Bay Heron by Johann Michael Seligmann, 18th Century This exquisite hand-colored engraving, titled 'Der Reiher aus der Hudsons-Bay', depicts the Hudson Bay Heron (Ardea stellaris Canadensis), showcasing the bird’s distinct plumage and posture with vibrant precision. Created by Johann Michael Seligmann, a renowned German engraver and illustrator, this piece belongs to his influential series *Sammlung verschiedener ausländischer und seltener Vögel* (Collection of Various Foreign and Rare Birds). Seligmann’s work adapted the illustrations of eminent naturalists, including George Edwards, bringing these images to a German audience while preserving both scientific detail and aesthetic charm. The plate, numbered "Tab. XXXI," captures the heron standing elegantly, with finely rendered feather patterns and delicate coloring that highlight Seligmann’s attention to detail. The botanical element at the bird’s feet, along with the French title *Le Butor de la Baye de Hudson*, adds context to the species' natural environment. This engraving, with its Latin nomenclature, reflects the era’s fascination with exotic fauna and is a wonderful example of 18th-century ornithological artistry. Perfect for collectors of historical natural history illustrations or enthusiasts of rare avian artwork, this piece embodies Seligmann’s artistic legacy. His engravings remain highly collectible for their combination of scientific accuracy and visual beauty, making this print an exceptional addition to any antique print collection.
