EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the beauty and diversity of avian life in the 19th century. The image features three stunning bird species: the Greater Antillean grackle, Audubon's oriole, and the red-winged blackbird. Each bird is meticulously depicted in this handcoloured steel engraving by Madame Bourey after an illustration by Edouard Travies. The Greater Antillean grackle, with its glossy black plumage, exudes a sense of elegance and mystery. Audubon's oriole stands out with its vibrant yellow feathers contrasting against a dark background, while the red-winged blackbird captivates with its striking combination of jet-black feathers and fiery red shoulder patches. This artwork is part of Achille Richards' Oeuvres Completes de Buffon collection, which celebrates nature through meticulous illustrations. It serves as a testament to both scientific exploration and artistic expression during that era. Through this enchanting composition, we are transported back to a time when naturalists like Buffon sought to document and understand our planet's rich biodiversity. This print not only captures the essence of these magnificent birds but also pays homage to French culture and scientific advancements in zoology. Whether you are an admirer of wildlife or have an appreciation for historical artistry, this print offers a glimpse into the wonders of nature as seen through the eyes of talented artists from centuries past.
