EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 32 from Louis-Isidore Duperrey's Voyage de la Coquille (1822-1825) Zoologie Atlas (1826) presents a captivating illustration of the Chilean Flicker, Colaptes pitius. This nineteenth-century avian portrait, drawn during Duperrey's expedition to Chile, Peru, Polynesia, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, and Australia, showcases the distinctive features of this intriguing bird. Perched on a mottled branch, the Chilean Flicker's cream-colored underparts and brown upperparts create a striking contrast, while its fan-like crest adds an air of regality to its face. With a keen, alert expression, the bird gazes intently at the viewer, inviting closer examination. Duperrey's expedition, which took place between 1822 and 1825, was a significant contribution to the scientific exploration of the world during the nineteenth century. The Zoologie Atlas, which accompanied the voyage's publication, was a testament to the team's dedication to documenting the natural world. This illustration, in particular, provides a detailed and accurate record of the Chilean Flicker's anatomy, showcasing its intricate plumage and unique physical characteristics. The meticulous attention to detail is a testament to the skill and expertise of the illustrators who worked on the project. As a historical artifact, this print offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when exploration and discovery were at the forefront of scientific endeavor. It also serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and documenting the natural world for future generations.
