EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century showcases the Grey-crowned babbler and black cardinal fish in all their natural glory. Created by Adolph Fries, a renowned artist of his time, this handcoloured steel engraving is a true masterpiece that captures the essence of these remarkable creatures. The Grey-crowned babbler, scientifically known as Pomatostomus temporalis (Pomathorinus temporalis), is depicted with its distinctive grey crown and intricate feather patterns. Its lively presence adds an element of charm to the composition. On the other side, we have the black cardinal fish, Epigonus telescopus (Pomatumus telescopus), showcasing its unique shape and coloration. The attention to detail in this engraving is truly remarkable. Each stroke brings out the texture of feathers and scales, giving life to these animals on paper. The artist's skillful use of colors enhances their beauty even further. This print comes from Felix-Edouard Guerin-Menevilles Dictionnaire Pittoresque d Histoire Naturelle (Picturesque Dictionary of Natural History), published in Paris between 1834-39. It serves as a testament to both scientific exploration and artistic expression during that era. Whether you are an art enthusiast or a nature lover, this enchanting print will surely captivate your imagination. It transports you back in time to appreciate the wonders of wildlife through an artist's lens.
