EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Prickled Dog or Hound-Fish, with an Insect called the Walking-Stick" by George Edwards. Created between 1749 and 1773, this coloured engraving is a true masterpiece of natural history illustration. The image depicts a unique combination of two different species: the Prickled Dog or Hound-Fish and the Walking-Stick insect. The attention to detail in both creatures is remarkable, highlighting their intricate features and textures. The artist's skillful rendering brings these specimens to life on paper. Originally engraved by George Edwards, this particular version was re-engraved by Michael Seligmann, a German engraver and art dealer from Nuremberg. Seligmann combined Edwards' work with that of Catesby's "A Natural History of Carolina, Florida and the Bahama Islands" translating names into German while adding additional figures and plants not found in the originals. The composition exudes a sense of wonderment as it invites viewers into the fascinating world of wildlife exploration. It serves as a testament to humanity's curiosity about nature throughout history. Displayed against a neutral background, these extraordinary creatures take center stage in all their glory. This print is not only visually stunning but also serves as an important historical document showcasing early scientific discoveries in natural history.
