EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1839 showcases the beauty and diversity of three unique bird species - the Hill myna, Bohemian waxwing, and coleto. Created by Jean Gabriel Pretre and handcolored by Leopold Massard, this print is a true masterpiece that captures the essence of these birds in stunning detail. The Common hill myna (Gracula religiosa) takes center stage with its vibrant plumage and striking features. Known for its ability to mimic human speech, this bird has long been admired for its intelligence and vocal talents. Next to it is the Bohemian waxwing (Bombycilla garrulus), a bird known for its distinctive crest and sleek appearance. With its soft gray feathers punctuated by bright yellow accents on its wings, this species adds an elegant touch to the composition. Lastly, we have the coleto (Sarcops calvus), also known as Gracula calva or goulin. This unique bird stands out with its bald head and dark plumage. Native to Southeast Asia, it brings an exotic element to this enchanting scene. Displayed against a backdrop of lush foliage, these birds come together in harmony, showcasing nature's incredible variety. The intricate details captured in this engraving allow us to appreciate their individual characteristics while highlighting their collective beauty. This print serves as a testament to both artistic skill and scientific curiosity during the 19th century when natural history was at the forefront of exploration. It invites us into a world where art meets science, reminding us of our fascination with wildlife throughout history.
