EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely detailed hand-colored steel engraving depicts the Head of the Western Plantain-eater, Crinifer piscator, also known as the Variegated Plantain Eater, Crested Plantain Eater, Chizoeris variegata, or the Senegal Turaco. The image is taken from William John Swainson's seminal work, "Birds of Western Africa," published in Sir William Jardine's Naturalists Library: Ornithology in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1837. The Western Plantain-eater is a distinctive bird species native to the forests of West Africa. With its vibrant green plumage, striking crest, and distinctive red eyes, this bird is a true beauty of the avian world. The intricate engraving captures every detail of its head, from the delicate feathers of its crest to the subtle textures of its beak and eyes. Swainson, a renowned English naturalist, illustrated the bird from life, and the engraving was produced by the skilled hand of William Lizars. The result is a stunning work of art that showcases the beauty and diversity of African avian life during the 19th century. The Western Plantain-eater is a member of the Turaco family, which also includes the Guinea Turaco, the Tauraco Persa, the Tauraco Senegalensis, the Tauraco Buffoni, and the Corythaix Buffonii, among others. These birds are known for their distinctive appearance and their omnivorous diet, which includes fruits, seeds, and insects. This engraving is a testament to the remarkable natural history research and artistic talent of the time and serves as a reminder of the rich biodiversity of Africa's avian population. It is a valuable historical resource for ornithologists, naturalists, and anyone interested in the natural world.
