EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely hand-colored steel engraving, created by Annedouche after a drawing by Edouard Travies, showcases two fascinating wading birds: the Pied Avocet (Recurvirostra avosetta) and the Greater Flamingo (Phoenicopterus roseus). The image is taken from Richards New Edition of the Complete Works of Comte de Buffon, published by Pourrat Freres in Paris in 1837. The Pied Avocet, with its distinctive black and white plumage, is a resident of Europe, Asia, and Africa. It is named for its avocet-shaped bill, which is curved at the tip and used to sift through the mud for food. The bird in the foreground of the engraving is the Pied Avocet, its elegant form poised gracefully on one leg. In the background, the Greater Flamingo, with its striking pink feathers and long, curved legs, stands proudly. This large, elegant wading bird is found in Africa, Europe, and the Americas, and is the largest of the six flamingo species. Its pink coloration is due to its diet of algae and brine shrimp, which contain the pigment astaxanthin. This engraving is a beautiful example of the ornithological illustrations produced during the 19th century, when natural history was a popular field of study. The intricate details of the birds' plumage and the careful shading of the colors show the skill of the engraver and the dedication of the publishers to creating an accurate and visually stunning record of the natural world.
