EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Grey partridge and common quail" takes us back to the year 1839. Created by Edouard Travies and handcolored by Manceau, this artwork showcases the beauty of two bird species: the Grey Partridge (Perdix perdix) and the Common Quail (Coturnix coturnix). The exquisite detail in this print allows us to appreciate every feather on these magnificent creatures. The Grey Partridge, also known as Tetrao perdix or Le Perdrix Grise, stands proudly with its distinctive plumage on full display. Its elegant posture exudes grace and poise. Beside it is the Common Quail, referred to as Tetrao coturnix or Le Caille in French. This small game bird captivates with its delicate features and intricate patterns. The artist's skillful use of color adds depth and realism to this engraving. Each stroke brings life to these avian subjects, making them appear almost lifelike. Originally featured in Achille Richards' Oeuvres Completes de Buffon publication in Paris, this engraving represents a significant contribution to natural history studies during that time period. As we gaze upon this artwork from Bridgeman Images' private collection today, we are reminded of the importance of preserving our wildlife heritage. It serves as a testament not only to scientific exploration but also to humanity's everlasting fascination with nature's wonders.
