EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored engraving on steel, titled "Buzzard and Red Kite," is a beautiful example of ornithological illustration from the Richards New Edition of the Complete Works of Comte de Buffon. The engraving was created by Annedouche, based on a drawing by Edouard Travies. The image depicts a buzzard (Buteo buteo) and a red kite (Milvus milvus) in a dramatic and lifelike manner. The buzzard, a bird of prey native to Europe, Asia, and North America, is shown with its sharp, hooked beak and powerful talons, ready to seize its prey. Its rust-brown feathers blend seamlessly with the earthy tones of the background, making it almost camouflaged among the rocks and shrubs. The red kite, on the other hand, is a bird of prey with distinctive red and white plumage. It is shown in flight, with its wings outstretched and its sharp eyes focused intently on the ground below. The intricate details of its feathers and the delicate shading in the handcoloring add depth and texture to the image. The drawing and engraving were created in the early 19th century, during a time when ornithology was a burgeoning scientific field. The Complete Works of Comte de Buffon, written by the French naturalist Georges-Louis Leclerc, was a seminal work in the history of ornithology, and this engraving is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and scientific accuracy that was prized in the field during this period. Overall, this handcolored engraving is a stunning work of art and a valuable historical document, showcasing the beauty and diversity of the natural world as observed and recorded by skilled artists and scientists of the past.
