EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured engraving captures the beauty of two iconic bird species, the Western yellow wagtail and the northern wheatear. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring these birds to life, showcasing their unique markings and graceful poses.
The Western yellow wagtail, scientifically known as Motacilla flava, is a charming songbird with bright yellow plumage that contrasts beautifully with its dark wings. Its slender body and long tail make it a striking sight in any natural setting.
On the other hand, the northern wheatear, or Oenanthe oenanthe, is a small but distinctive bird with a black mask across its eyes and white underparts. Known for its energetic tail flicking behavior, this bird is often seen darting around open landscapes in search of insects.
Illustrated by Edouard Travies and engraved by Fournier for Charles d'Orbigny's Dictionnaire Universelle d'Histoire Naturelle (Dictionary of Natural History) in 1849, this print captures a moment frozen in time. It serves as both an artistic representation of these avian wonders and a valuable scientific document for future generations to appreciate.
Whether you're an avid birder or simply admire nature's beauty, this enchanting print is sure to captivate your imagination and spark curiosity about these fascinating feathered creatures.
