EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the striking features of the Crested Partridge, Rollulus rouloul (Cryptonix coronatus), a native bird species to Malaysia and Malacca. The intricate detailing in the image highlights the bird's distinctive crest, which is a prominent feature used for display during mating rituals. The Crested Partridge is a ground-dwelling bird, and its cryptic plumage provides excellent camouflage, allowing it to blend seamlessly with its surroundings. The illustration is taken from Rene Primevere's "Lessons Complements de Buffon," published by Pourrat Freres in Paris in 1838. Buffon's "Lessons" were a series of supplementary volumes to the famous "Natural History" by Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon. The series aimed to provide detailed and accurate illustrations of various animal species, making it an essential resource for zoological studies during the 19th century. The hand-coloring of the copperplate engraving adds a level of depth and vibrancy to the image, enhancing the natural beauty of the Crested Partridge. The meticulous attention to detail in the illustration is evident in the intricate patterns on the bird's feathers, the texture of its skin, and the realistic representation of its beak and feet. The Crested Partridge is an essential species in the natural history of Malaysia and Malacca, and this beautiful illustration serves as a testament to its unique features and importance in the natural world. The intricate detailing and accurate representation of the bird make this a valuable addition to any collection of ornithological illustrations or natural history prints.
