About the Item

Title: "ORNITHOLOGY. Div'n. Land Birds – Order 4 PICE.A. Plate III" This 19th-century ornithological print, part of a scientific collection, features an array of land birds from the order Piciformes, intricately depicted in their natural poses. The illustration showcases the birds' vibrant plumage and distinct markings, rendered with precision and care typical of the period's educational and natural history artworks. Each bird is identified with both common and Latin names, enhancing the print's value as a tool for scholarly study and identification: 1. C. Corax (Raven) - CORAX. 2. C. Pica (Magpie) - MAGPIE. 3. C. Glandarius (Jay) - NUTCRACKER. 4. C. Garrulus (Eurasian Jay) - GARRULUS. 5. C. Corone (Carrion Crow) - CUSTED C. 6. C. Monedula (Jackdaw) - COAL ROLLER. Publication Information: The print is dated and published by Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme & Brown, Paternoster Row, with the exact date not visible in the provided image. However, the print likely follows the same publication pattern as the previous ones from Rees' 'The Cyclopaedia, or Universal Dictionary of Arts, Sciences, and Literature', a comprehensive encyclopedic series produced in the early 19th century. The series was recognized for its extensive array of text and illustrations, spanning multiple volumes. The detailed artistry, attributed to engraving by Milton after Sydenham Teast Edwards' drawings, stands as a testament to the period's dedication to the dissemination of scientific knowledge through visual media.
