The American Partridge (colinus virginianus). A Perfect Recreation™ of the copperplate engraving with original hand color. By Mark Catesby, c. 1731. 13" x 20"
This work is an extraordinary gift that will provide years of conversation, contemplation and enjoyment. At the 1720 invitation of the Royal Society of London, Mark Catesby observed and painted the flora and fauna of the English colonies in America. Between 1727 and 1741, he engraved and hand colored 250 copies of his landmark work, The Natural History of Carolina, Florida and the Bahama Islands. Catesby observed and drew the partridge in the what is now the American southeast. One hundred and fifty years earlier, the great French botanical artist, Jacques LeMoyne de Morgues, visited and painted the flora of the same area. We think his Pear pairs perfectly with Catesby's Partridge to make a delicious holiday gift."Absolutely perfect and magnificent".
