EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the vibrant beauty of a Kingfisher Alcedo atthis, also known as an ice peacock or ispida plombina. The image is part of a larger collection titled "Martin Pecheur" which translates to Kingfisher in French. Numbered at the top right corner with the digit 12, this print is one of many stunning illustrations commissioned by Emperor Rudolf II during the late 16th and early 17th centuries. The meticulous attention to detail in this artwork is evident through its use of various mediums such as watercolor, pencil, chalk, ink, and pen. Measuring approximately 169 mm in height and 214 mm in width, this piece captures the essence of these magnificent water-birds. Accompanying the illustration are annotations featuring both Latin and German names for further identification. Additionally, an explanation provided in Dutch, Latin, and French adds depth to our understanding of these fascinating creatures. While it's important not to mention any commercial use associated with this print from Liszt Collection (not affiliated with any company), we can appreciate its historical significance as a valuable contribution to ornithology and natural history studies during that era.
