EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving, taken from Rene Primevere's "Lessons Complements de Buffon," showcases two fascinating birds native to Malaysia: the White-crested Laughingthrush (Garrulax leucolophus belangeri) and the Malaysian Rail-babbler (Eupetes macrocerus). The White-crested Laughingthrush, also known as Belanger's Laughingthrush, is a medium-sized bird with a distinctive white crest on its head. Its plumage is mainly grayish-brown, with a black mask around its eyes and a bright orange-red bill. This bird is a resident of the forests of Southeast Asia, particularly in the Malay Peninsula and Sumatra. The Malaysian Rail-babbler, on the other hand, is a small, brownish-gray bird with a short, thick bill and long, yellow legs. It is named for its distinctive call, which sounds like a babbling brook. This bird is a resident of the lowland forests and grasslands of Malaysia and Sumatra. Both birds are depicted in their natural habitat, with the White-crested Laughingthrush perched on a tree branch and the Malaysian Rail-babbler standing on the ground. The intricate details of their feathers and the lush foliage in the background are beautifully rendered in this engraving, which is a testament to the skill of the engraver. Rene Primevere's "Lessons Complements de Buffon" was a popular natural history publication in the 19th century, featuring high-quality illustrations of various animals and plants. This particular engraving is a valuable addition to any collection of ornithological or zoological illustrations, providing a glimpse into the natural history of Malaysia and the beautiful birds that inhabit it.
