EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored copperplate engraving showcases the striking features of the Crested Wood-Partridge (Rollulus rouloul), a Near Threatened species of bird native to the forests of Central and South America. The illustration is taken from George Shaw and Frederick Nodder's "The Naturalist's Miscellany," published in 1792. The Crested Wood-Partridge is easily identified by its distinctive crest, which is raised when the bird feels threatened. The male and female of the species exhibit different plumage, with the male displaying a glossy black body, white underparts, and a bright red face, while the female has a brown body with a white belly and a brown head. The Crested Wood-Partridge is a forest-dwelling bird, and its diet consists mainly of fruits, seeds, and insects. They are known to be shy and elusive, making them difficult to spot in their natural habitat. Due to habitat loss and fragmentation, as well as hunting pressure, the population of the Crested Wood-Partridge has declined, and it is currently classified as Near Threatened by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). This beautiful engraving not only serves as a testament to the natural history of the Crested Wood-Partridge but also highlights the intricacy and detail of the illustrations produced during the 18th century. The use of handcoloring adds a vibrant and lifelike quality to the image, making it a valuable addition to any natural history collection.
