AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Original copper engraving. 46 x 35 cm. Splendid plate numbered, engraved in copper and finely watercolored by a contemporary hand. From "NATURAL HISTORY OF BIRDS" Edited by Saverio Manetti, Lorenzo Lorenzi and Violante Vanni, 1771-1776. Splendid original coloring. Curious plate drawn from one of the most famous and alluring works of ornithology of all time. Perfect specimen. Brand new/ pristine. Manetti, a physicist and director of the Botanical Garden of Florence from 1749 to 1782, was responsible for the text, for the nomenclature of the species and for the distribution of the work. Abbot Lorenzo Lorenzi and Violante Vanni (one of the very few women working in that field) drew the plates, engraved them on copper and hand-colored them. The result was the best and most extensive illustrated work produced up to that time. The publication was made possible thanks to the patronage of Marquis Giovanni Gerini.
