EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely hand-colored steel engraving, created by Annedouche after a drawing by Edouard Travies, showcases two intricately detailed birds: the Golden Oriole (Oriolus oriolus) and the Song Thrush (Turdus philomelos). 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 Golden Oriole, with its vibrant golden and black plumage, is a striking bird that is easily recognizable. Its long, curved beak and distinctive crest add to its regal appearance. The Oriole is a migratory bird, found in Europe, Asia, and North Africa. Known for its melodic song, it is a beloved bird among ornithologists and bird enthusiasts. The Song Thrush, on the other hand, is a ground-dwelling bird with a brown and speckled plumage. Its most distinctive feature is its powerful, melodic song, which is why it was given its name. The Song Thrush is a common bird in Europe, Asia, and North America, and is known for its omnivorous diet and territorial behavior. This beautiful engraving is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill of the time. It provides a glimpse into the past, showcasing the natural history and ornithology of the 19th century. The intricate lines and vibrant colors bring the two birds to life, capturing their unique beauty and character. This engraving is not only a work of art but also an important historical document, reflecting our fascination with the natural world and our desire to document and preserve it for future generations.
