This handcolored copperplate engraving, taken from Friedrich Bertuch's Bilderbuch fur Kinder (Picture Book for Children), published in Weimar in 1798, showcases an enchanting assembly of woodland birds. The image features six distinct species: the Black Woodpecker (Dryocopus martius) with its large, glossy black plumage and distinctive red crest, the European Green Woodpecker (Picus viridis) in its vibrant green and white attire, the Great Spotted Woodpecker (Dendrocopos major) with its black and white spotted pattern, the Lesser Spotted Woodpecker (Dendrocopos minor) in its brown and white speckled plumage, the Eurasian Nuthatch (Sitta europaea) with its distinctive black and white stripes, and the Treecreeper (Certhia familiaris) with its long, curved beak and zebra-like stripes. Each bird is meticulously rendered in intricate detail, showcasing the exceptional artistry of the time. This historical illustration offers a fascinating glimpse into the natural world of the late 18th century, providing a captivating record of these birds for generations to come.
