EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored copperplate stipple engraving, created between 1816 and 1830, showcases two captivating avian species: the Grey-winged Trumpeter, Psophia crepitans, and the Black Crowned Crane, Balearica pavonina. The image is taken from the "Dictionnaire de Sciences Naturelles: Ornithologie" (Dictionary of Natural Sciences: Ornithology) by Frederic Cuvier, published by F.G. Levrault in Paris, France. Jean Gabriel Pretre, a painter of natural history at Empress Josephine's zoo, was responsible for the original illustration. The engraving was then expertly executed by Coutant, under the direction of Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin. The Grey-winged Trumpeter, depicted on the left, is a unique bird native to South America. With its grey wings, black body, and distinctive red wattles, this bird is a true marvel of nature. The Black Crowned Crane, on the right, is a graceful and elegant creature with its black feathered head and neck, contrasting with its white body and red crown. This species, Balearica pavonina, is currently considered vulnerable due to habitat loss and hunting. The intricate details and vibrant colors of this engraving not only showcase the beauty of these birds but also highlight the exceptional skill of the artists involved in its creation. This historical piece is a testament to the passion and dedication of naturalists and artists during the 19th century in documenting the natural world.
