EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured engraving captures the beauty and grace of two nocturnal birds, the Barn owl (Tyto alba) and European nightjar (Caprimulgus europaeus). The intricate details in this illustration by Edouard Travies from Charles d'Orbigny's Dictionnaire Universale d'Histoire Naturelle transport us to a world where these majestic creatures roam freely.
The Barn owl, with its heart-shaped face and ghostly appearance, is known for its silent flight and keen hunting abilities. Its presence symbolizes wisdom and mystery in many cultures around the world. On the other hand, the European nightjar is a master of camouflage, blending seamlessly into its surroundings during the twilight hours. Its haunting call echoes through forests as it hunts insects under cover of darkness.
The delicate handcolouring by Fournier adds a touch of vibrancy to this enchanting scene, bringing these birds to life on paper. This print serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving our natural world and appreciating the diversity of species that inhabit it.
Whether you are an avid birdwatcher or simply appreciate fine art, this engraving is sure to captivate your imagination and inspire awe for these fascinating creatures that share our planet.
