Rare 1758 Large Hand-Colored Copper-Plate Folio Engraving from: GLEANINGS OF NATURAL HISTORY EXHIBITING FIGURES OF QUADRUPEDS, BIRDS, INSECTS, PLANTS &c. BY GEORGE EDWARDS Plate 290. The Crested or Coped Black Vulture. and the Black and White Snake, both drawn from life by G. Edwards A beautiful, big hand-colored etching from this famed work of Natural History. This one, the Male Zebra is extremely scarce, I’m not finding any other originals offered at first look, the best of the series like this one are very hard to find as individual plates. A special, rare find & a gorgeous, large print. About the Volumes: This famous work was written and illustrated by George Edwards (British, Stratford 1694–1773 Plaistow), the title continues as: Gleanings of natural history: exhibiting figures of quadrupeds, birds, insects, plants &c., most of which have not, till now, been either figured or described: with descriptions of seventy different subjects…The two-volume work extended Edwards’ prior work ‘A Natural History of Uncommon Birds’. This part looked not only at birds, but also at mammals, fish, reptiles and insects. However, the ornithological part of the book made up the majority and is the part for which Edwards earned his reputation.The descriptions written by Edwards were celebrated for their accuracy, so much so that Linnaeus would later use them to name around 350 bird species when preparing his Systema Naturæ. This later edition with parallel English and French texts was given a new title, ‘Gleanings of Natural History’, and was expended to three volumes. About the Author & Artist:George Edwards FRS (3 April 1694 – 23 July 1773) was an English naturalist and ornithologist, known as the “father of British ornithology”. In his early years, he travelled extensively through mainland Europe, studying natural history, and gained a reputation for his colored drawings of animals, especially birds. He was appointed as beadle (official) to the Royal College of Physicians in 1733. Over a period of 21 years, Edwards published seven volumes containing descriptions and hand-coloured etchings of birds. In a few cases, he depicted other animals. None of the species were native to the British Isles. The first four volumes were published between 1743 and 1751 with the title A Natural History of Uncommon Birds. The three subsequent volumes were published between 1758 and 1764 with the title Gleanings of Natural History. The volumes contain a total of 362 hand-coloured etchings of which 317 depict birds. The etchings were all drawn by Edwards. He numbered the plates consecutively through the seven volumes. About the Plates:These plates are apparently etchings, which differ from engravings in that the lines are cut into the copper plate with acid, as opposed to engraved with steel blade.Every part of this print was made by hand: Hand drawn & etched on Copper which was hand-mined, smelted & rolled, printed onto handmade cotton rag paper, inked & colored with hand-ground pigments individually by hand, & they were usually hand sewn into handmade leather-bound books. Condition:Appears to be in good condition for a 266-year-old engraving. The hand-coloring appears to remain sharp & brilliant. Typical age-toning & character for a print this old. Some spotting, etc. as shown. Please peruse the detailed photos. Printed on thick, creamy, wove paper with plate-marks.These prints are very old & may have minor imperfections expected with age, such as some typical age-toning of the paper, oxidation of the old original watercolors, spots, text-offsetting, artifacts from having been bound into a book & handled as a page in a volume, etc. Please examine the photos & details carefully.Text Page(s): This one doesn’t come with text page(s). (Please note, the scan of the title page is included for reference, it’s not part of this listing…) About These Amazing Creatures:This looks to be the cinereous vulture (Aegypius monachus), a large raptor in the family Accipitridae and distributed through much of temperate Eurasia.It is also known as the black vulture, monk vulture and Eurasian black vulture.With a body length of 1.2 m (3 ft 11 in), 3.1 m (10 ft) across the wings and a maximum weight of 14 kg (31 lb), it is the largest Old World vulture and largest member of the Accipitridae family.The snake looks to be the common krait (Bungarus caeruleus), also known as Bengal krait, is a species of highly venomous snakes of the genus Bungarus in the Elapidae family native to the Indian subcontinent. It is one of the Big Four Indian snakes that inflict the most snakebites on humans in Pakistan, India and Bangladesh.Size: 9″ x 12″ inches approximately.
