EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the captivating beauty of the Bornean Forktail (Enicurus borneensis), also known as the White-crowned Forktail or the Bornean Coronatus Forktail. The image is taken from Rene Primevere's "Lessons Complements de Buffon," published by Pourrat Freres in Paris in 1838. The Bornean Forktail is a small wading bird native to the Borneo Island in Southeast Asia. With its distinctive white crown and black and white plumage, this bird is a delight to observe in its natural habitat. The intricate details of its feathers, beak, and legs are beautifully captured in this engraving, making it a valuable addition to any collection of zoological or ornithological illustrations. The Bornean Forktail is a member of the Old World flycatcher family, and it is known for its agile and nimble movements as it hunts for insects and other small prey along the banks of rivers and streams. This bird is a resident of Borneo and is not known to migrate, making it an important part of the island's rich biodiversity. The Bornean Forktail is an endangered species due to habitat loss and fragmentation. Wetlands, which are essential for their survival, are being destroyed at an alarming rate due to human activities such as agriculture, logging, and urbanization. Conservation efforts are underway to protect the remaining populations of this beautiful bird and preserve its habitat. This stunning hand-colored copperplate engraving is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the natural world and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving endangered species and their habitats.
