EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1839 showcases the majestic presence of a King vulture and a turkey vulture, beautifully captured by artist Edouard Travies. The print, handcoloured by Fournier, is part of a private collection and offers an exquisite glimpse into the world of these remarkable birds. The King vulture, scientifically known as Sarcoramphus papa, stands tall with its striking black and white plumage. Its regal appearance is accentuated by its powerful beak and piercing eyes. Beside it, the turkey vulture (Cathartes aura) exudes an air of mystery with its dark feathers and distinctive red head. This enchanting artwork originates from Achille Richards' Oeuvres Completes de Buffon, showcasing Travies' talent for capturing nature's beauty in intricate detail. The engraving transports us to the early 19th century when scientific exploration was at its peak. Through this piece, we are reminded of the importance of natural history and zoology in understanding our world's diverse wildlife. It serves as a testament to both artistic skill and scientific curiosity during that era. As we admire this print today, let us appreciate not only the artistry behind it but also recognize how it contributes to our knowledge about these fascinating creatures. This image invites us to delve into the wonders of nature while celebrating France's rich cultural heritage in science and artistry.
