EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored steel engraving, created by Annedouche after a drawing by Edouard Travies, showcases three distinct and intriguing species of game birds: the Grey Partridge (Perdix perdix), Red-legged Partridge (Alectoris rufa), and Common Quail (Coturnix coturnix). The engraving is taken from Richards New Edition of the Complete Works of Comte de Buffon, published by Pourrat Freres in Paris in 1837. The Grey Partridge, with its distinctive grey plumage and black and white striped breast, is a resident bird of Europe and Asia. It is a ground-dwelling bird and prefers open habitats such as grasslands and arable fields. The Red-legged Partridge, native to Europe, Asia, and North Africa, is easily recognizable by its vibrant red legs and chestnut-colored plumage. This bird is an omnivore and can be found in a variety of habitats, from open grasslands to wooded areas. The Common Quail, also known as the Californian Quail in North America, is a small, round-bodied bird with a distinctive crest on its head. The male has a black face, white collar, and chestnut-colored plumage, while the female is a more muted brown color. This bird is a ground-dwelling omnivore and can be found in a variety of habitats, from grasslands to forests. This beautiful engraving is not only a stunning work of art but also an important historical document in the field of ornithology. The Complete Works of Comte de Buffon, written by the French naturalist Georges-Louis Leclerc, is considered one of the most comprehensive works on natural history in the 18th century. The inclusion of this engraving in the work demonstrates the attention to detail and accuracy that was valued in the study of natural history during this time period.
